HAPPY-GO-LUCKY

New York City, NY: Little Brown & Company, 2022. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. As New/As New Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Little Brown & Company, 2022. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Edition/First Printing. 260 pages. The author's tenth collection of short stories and essays (not counting several retrospective collections). David Sedaris in his prime and near-peak form. 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. Presents David Sedaris' "Happy-Go-Lucky". Son makes peace, sort of, at last, with Father. "A sweet-and-sour set of pieces on loss, absurdity, and places they intersect. Sedaris remains stubbornly irreverent even in the face of pandemic lockdowns and social upheaval" (Kirkus Reviews). An absolute "must-have" title for David Sedaris collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by David Sedaris. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great collection. This is one of very 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: Sedaris signed very few copies through his publisher and selected outlets during the ongoing pandemic. Copies available online have serious flaws, are in subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DAVID SEDARIS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0316392456.
