hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. New York. 1993. April 1993. Harper Collins. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0060168757. 278 pages. hardcover. Cover: Phil Huling. keywords: Literature America Southern. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Everything had been going well for him, until the cats - and that rather mousy woman. True, at forty-two, Eric Thorsen may not have quite lived up to his promise as a pianist, but accompanying struggling dance troupes and doing a bit of teaching kept him in practice. True, while he couldn't seem to commit himself to a relationship, any number of women, nonplussed by his astonishing good looks, offered steady distraction. And true, if life in Manhattan had become the usual series of confrontations with confusingly trendy restaurants and unintelligible immigrants, at least he had a ridiculously affordable apartment. But when his downstairs neighbor begins taking in stray cats - many stray cats - their pungent miasma drifting upward through a heating vent makes that apartment unbearable. Bad as they are, though, the felines only seem to be the catalyst for an entire series of mishaps for Eric, including the unraveling of his sister's affair with a married lawyer, a surprise visit by his father that stretches on endlessly, and the growing awkwardness of trying to deal with his best friend, who's recently discovered he's gay. Most perplexing is Wanda, the rather plain woman who accosted him one Sunday after church and who now seems to be getting more entangled in his life, despite her affair with an ex-priest. While Elsie house-sits in a luxurious penthouse, keeping careful watch over a veritable fleet of VCRs taping every show on television, Eric reluctantly takes refuge in her more modest East Village apartment. The deferential and lonely Wanda turns out to be more of a challenge to Eric than he could ever have anticipated, and their unlikely courtship not only brings them unexpected pleasure but also offers redemption to their circle of hapless friends. inventory #31817.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 278 pages. Published in 1993. The author's sixth novel. One of James Wilcox's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. 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 James Wilcox's "Guest of A Sinner". His full-fledged New York novel centered around his protagonist, Eric Thorsen. After all, the author did spend some time navigating the streets and perils of Manhattan. "Recaptures the antic spirit of his earlier work. A comedy of errors with all sorts of sexual quandaries, not a few downright crazy characters, and a spiritual dimension to top it all off. Among Eric's worries are: His failure to achieve success as a musician. His work teaching music in a settlement house. His totally screwed sex life (for a long time, he dated a nun). His family's unreasonable expectations of him. His older sister, Kaye, a widowed Macy's employee, dates a creepy married man and entertains not-so-repressed incestuous desire for her brother. There is a Waugh-like breeziness to this delightful novel with its genial view of human frailty and its overwhelming patience with things absurd" (Kirkus Reviews). It is a crying shame that James Wilcox's entire body of work has not received the kind of universal recognition that it so richly deserves, otherwise accorded too many inferior, undeserving writers, products of American media hype. The reason is that he writes social comedy - there is no other kind in literature - which is looked down upon as the lesser art, not to be taken seriously, except, of course, by readers and critics who do take literature seriously. An absolute "must-have" title for James Wilcox collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by James Wilcox. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a late-modern classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are in subsequent editions, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. "Modern Baptists" is regarded by Harold Bloom as one of the canonical works of the 20th century. One of the finest writers of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy.
