Goodbye, Columbus (Inscribed first edition)
- SIGNED
- Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1959
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1959. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. A Fine copy of Roth's first book, in a Near Fine dust jacket. Book is inscribed on the title page by the author, and dated in 2007. The dust jacket is just a bit toned on the spine and with a little bend at the crown. Otherwise a lovely example of this modern high spot. Housed in a custom grey slipcase with chemise.
Goodbye, Columbus compiles the titular novella and five other short stories exploring Jewish identity, military service, and middle-class American adolescence. Roth went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his 1997 novel American Pastoral, the first book in his American Trilogy (followed by I Married a Communist in 1998 and The Human Stain in 2000). Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.
