The People in the Trees: A Novel (Signed First Edition)

First Edition/First Printing with the complete number line; A Fine book in a Fine dust jacket with no visible flaws. SIGNED by the author on the title page with a unique message "I give you my heart". An outstanding copy of this first novel by the critically acclaimed author of "A Little Life" and "To Paradise"; this is the first hardcover edition, very scarce signed. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in archival protection and shipped in a sturdy box.
"Driven by Yanagihara's gorgeously complete imaginary ethnography on the one hand and, on the other, by her brilliantly detestable narrator, this debut novel is compelling on every level—morally, aesthetically, and narratively. Yanagihara balances pulpy adventure tale excitement with serious consideration in unraveling her fantastical premise: a scientist, Norton Perina, discovers an island whose inhabitants may somehow have achieved immortality."
