201223460New York City NY: Scribner & Company 2012. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New Dust Jacket. New York City NY: Scribner & Company 2012. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Edition/First Printing. 345 pages. Retrospective collection of literary essays. One of Colm Toibin's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Colm Toibin's "New Ways To Kill Your Mother: Writers And Their Families". An arrestingly original perspective on literature itself: What it is and how it is realized by its writers. Offers a rich and illuminating exploration of writers' relationships to their families - and how this has affected indeed creeps inescapably into their work. "From Jane Austen's aunts to Tennessee Williams' mentally ill sister the impact of intimate family dynamics can be seen in many of literature's greatest works. Traces and interprets those intriguing eccentric often twisted family ties through the relationship between W. B. Yeats and his father Thomas Mann and his children J. M. Synge and his mother. In Roddy Doyle's writing on his parents Toibin perceives an Ireland re-invented. From the dreams and nightmares of John Cheever's 'Journals' Toibin illuminates this darkly comic misanthrope and his relationship to his wife and his children" Publisher's blurb. Toibin unearths gems from the writers' work itself such as this: "Educating a woman is like letting a rattlesnake into the house" John Cheever. An absolute "must-have" title for Colm Toibin collectors. This copy is very prominently neatly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Colm Toibin. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. It comes with a fine copy of the Souvenir Material of the event during which his signature was obtained. This title is a great collection. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing American still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the greatest novelist/writers of our time. A fine copy. SEE ALSO OTHER COLM TOIBIN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 1451668554. Scribner & Company hardcover
