The Faraway Nearby (signed)

Author: Solnit, Rebecca
Title: The Faraway Nearby (signed)
Publication: NY: Viking, 2013
Edition: First edition

Description: Hardcover. Fourth printing. Inscribed flamboyantly on the title page: "For Patricia, best wishes and deep bow, Rebecca Solnit." Uncommon signed. Described as a "fitting companion to Solnit's much-loved A Field Guide to Getting Lost," this book is a blend of autobiography, travelogue, and reporting that "spirals out" from her own experiences to "stories she heard and read that helped her navigate her difficult passage." It was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, which she previously won for River of Shadows. A near fine book in two-toned paper boards with the slightest lean to the spine and two minuscule, accidental dogears in the interior; in a very good jacket with rubbing to outer margins of rear panel. Near fine / Very good.
