Inhaltsangabe
Sepha Stephanos owns a newsagent and general store in a rundown Washington, D.C. neighbourhood that is on the verge of gentrification. Seventeen years ago, he fled the Ethiopian revolution after his father was killed. His life now is quiet, he spends his days reading Russian classics, serving the few customers he has and every Thursday evening he meets with his two friends, Joseph and Kenneth, drinking whisky and making jokes about Africa's long line of dictators and revolutions. When a white woman named Judith moves next door with her mixed-race daughter Naomi, Sepha's life seems on the verge of change. His fragile relationship with them gives him a painful glimpse into the life he could have lived and for which he still holds out hope. In an astonishingly assured debut, Dinaw Mengestu writes with powerful understatement of one man's longing for the American dream, and of the tenacious grip of the past across continents and time.

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near fine first printing in original publisher's wrappers. The book is square, tight and unread with a very narrow strip of yellowing to the top edge of two pages, and with a few spots of foxing to the top edge of the text block. Signed, dated and located by the author to the title page: 'Hay-on-Wye. June 2nd 2007'. Very scarce as a signed first printing. As an enthusiastic collector myself I make every effort to provide a high level of service. Enquiries welcomed. Paypal accepted. Signed by Author(s). Artikel-Nr. 009088
