First Edition
First edition. First edition. Review copy with publisher's slip laid in. 158, [1] pp. Bound in publisher's black cloth and boards with red spine lettering. Very Good with waviness along bottom edge of textblock, pages toned with age, very light foxing to fore edge, in unclipped dust jacket with a few slight laminate creases as is common with this book. An earthquake destroys L.A. in this unusual novel, an exploration of how people-- specifically Americans, more specifically Angelenos-- cope with trauma, not so much in a learning-and-sharing-and-growing way as in a depressingly selfish, nihilistic '70s kind of way. But there is dark comedy in it, and it certainly pulls a reader in by beginning with a big bang and then not relenting.
