About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 2020. SIGNED. 1st/1st. Purchased new. NF/NF. Stated First Edition. First printing with complete 10 number line starting with 1. Signed by Kevin Kwan on the publisher's bound-in page. The unread book is tight and square with solid hinges, sharp tips, and clean unmarred boards. Light bumps to the spine ends. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library or remaindered. The dust jacket is unclipped ($26.95) with faint wear to the bottom spine edge, else Fine. Protected in a Brodart Mylar cover. From the author of Crazy Rich Asians.
A glittering tale of love and longing as a young woman finds herself torn between two worlds–the WASP establishment of her father's family and George Zao, a man she is desperately trying to avoid falling in love with. Moving between summer playgrounds of privilege, peppered with decadent food and extravagant fashion, Sex and Vanity is a truly modern love story, a daring homage to A Room with a View, and a brilliantly funny comedy of manners set between two cultures.
