JOURNAL WIRED QUARTERLY: "NOODLING" SHORT STORY

Englewood, CO: Watson Creative Solutions, 1990. First Edition. First Printing.. Softcover. Fine/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. Englewood, CO: Watson Creative Solutions, 1990. Softcover. Fine/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 175 pages. Rare Jonathan Lethem collectible item. A fine copy of the Journal Wired Quarterly Spring 1990 Issue, signed by Jonathan Lethem. Published in a small and limited one-time-only print run as a softcover original only. Features "Noodling", which represents one of the earliest publications of the author's work. According to Jonathan Lethem himself, it is his second piece ever to be published. It significantly precedes any of his work in book form, including his debut novel, "Gun, With Occasional Music", which was shamefully ignored by critics and the reading public when it first appeared in 1994, but is now considered a contemporary classic. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Jonathan Lethem collectors. This copy of Journal Wired Quarterly is very boldly and beautifully signed in metallic-silver pen-marker on the title page by Jonathan Lethem. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The pen Lethem used is lovely: His signature fills up the page and glows radiantly against the light. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the Magazine Quarterly available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is second piece ever to be published by Lethem, precedes ALL of his books, and especially collectible as such. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Crawford Award for Best Fantasy Novel and the Locus Award for Best First Novel in 1994 for "Gun, With Occasional Music". Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1999 for "Motherless Brooklyn". Selected as one of the "Best Books of The Year" by the New York Times in 2003 for "Fortress of Solitude". Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant in 2005. One of the most brilliant new voices in American literature. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JONATHAN LETHEM TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0929480244.
