SIGNED, Lord of Misrule, Jaimy Gordon, First Edition, First Printing
Kingston, NY: McPherson & Company, 2010. SIGNED. First edition, first printing with complete number line starting with 1. Signed by Jaimy Gordon on the title page. The book appears unread. Tight and square with solid hinges, mild bump to the front top corner, else boards are clean and unmarred. The dust jacket is unclipped (25.00) and fine. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. First printing of 8,000 copies.
In the ruthless and often violent world of cheap horse racing live the trainers and jockeys, grooms and hotwalkers, as well as the loan sharks — all struggling to take an edge, prove their luck, or simply survive. Called “equal parts Nathanael West, Damon Runyon and Eudora Welty”, the book follows five characters — scarred and lonely dreamers in the American grain — through a year and four races at Indian Mound Downs, a track near Wheeling, West Virginia. Winner of the 2010 National Book Award for Fiction.
