Title: Four signed first editions: Raymond Carver, Bruce Chatwin Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Wolfe Author: Place: Franklin Center Publisher: Franklin Library Date: Various dates Description: Includes: Carver, Raymond. Where I'm Calling From. 1988. Signed by Carver. The correct first edition of this title, preceding the trade edition. Carver died shortly after the publication of this collection and signed copies are uncommon other than this edition. Chatwin, Bruce. The Songlines. 1987. Signed by Chatwin. By general consensus, Chatwin's best book - a "novel of ideas," as the publisher puts it, of Australian aborigines and the questions about man that arise from the vast gulf that separates the culture of contemporary Western civilized man from that of the wandering tribes of Australia. Vonnegut, Kurg. Bluebeard. 1987. Signed by Vonnegut. With a special introduction by Vonnegut for this edition, in which he decries the broken bond between the artist and the universe that occurs when commerce intervenes. Wolfe, Tom. The Bonfire of the Vanities. 1987. The limited edition of Wolfe's huge bestselling novel of New York, in which Wolfe tried to prove wrong his own dictum that fiction is dead because it can't live up to the weirdness of everyday life. Donated by Ken Lopez Bookseller, Hadley, MA. Lot Amendments Condition: All fine in publisher's original shrinkwrap. Item number: 241385
