The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating

Chapel Hill: Algonquin Books. 2010. The 2011 John Burroughs Medal winner. A surprisingly fascinating memoir of a woman's debilitating illness being eased by the companionship of a snail. Basis for the award-winning 2019 short film, narrated by Daryl Hannah and starring Ariela Kuh and Neohelix Albolaris (the snail). Signed by the author, "ETB," with a sketch of a snail on the move. Fine in a very near fine, lightly edge-rubbed dust jacket. First printings are scarce; signed copies much more so. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine.
