"A whole lost America emerges in this book, as it does in 'This Time'. It is in writing like this-like Kerouac's or Olson's, or Williams'Paterson'-that we will go to re-possess ourselves of what we've allowed to be taken so shamelessly from us. When the country, the world, will ultimately become one vast, desolate Dubai, Gibbons will have preserved its essence in his own telling of how he walked its streets and read its face in those of the people encountered, teaching us from movements through the day and night (in dreams or actual texts) what we've missed or forgotten or never knew in the first place. This is what writing is all about. There is no other need or use for it other than for this purpose, no matter how much trash floods the market under the name of literature or how many prizes are awarded to writers hoping to become celebrities. This is the real thing, the writing of the End Times, as Slavoj Zizek describes it in 'Living in the End Times.'" - Peter Anastas, Author of 'Decline of Fishes', "A whole lost America emerges in this book, as it does in 'This Time'.

- 2***0 (130)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!Mistress of Shenstone by Florence L. Barclay HC 1910 (#335940140985)
- a***p (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque HC 1930 (#396258036329)
