Anne Tyler(1941-). Book Description: New York City, NY: Alfred A. Knopf. Hardcover. Book Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 337 pages. Published in 1991. The author's twelfth novel. One of the most important literary events of the year 1991. "Tyler makes things look so easy that she never gets enough credit, yet she portrays everyday Americans with such humor, grace and, ultimately, emotional force that her books are always deeply satisfying. Her protagonist, Ian Bedloe, stricken with guilt over the death of his older brother, raises three children unrelated to him by blood. He is strengthened in this Herculean task by the storefront Church of the Second Chance, to which he devotes himself with equal fervor. Someone once said all great writers are comic writers. Among living Americans, Tyler is Exhibit A". This copy is neatly and beautifully signed and inscribed on the flyleaf by Anne Tyler. The author is known to be painfully shy and does not do public appearances or signings. Signed copies of her wonderful books, which will become part of the American literary canon, are extremely scarce. This is one of few signed copies of the First Edition. The book has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A very scarce signed copy thus. Regarded by John Updike as one of the finest American writers of the 20th century. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1988 for "Breathing Lessons". A flawless copy.
