Description

First edition. A PRESENTATION COPY, Inscribed to G., and signed by the author. Tall 8vo, publisher's original red cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine and with gilt crowns on the upper cover, in the original brightly decorated dustjacket. 407pp. A fine and bright copy.

Edizione: winner of the pulitzer prize for fiction, being the first novel by a united states-born hispanic to do so. it is also winner of the 1990 national book award. at the top of the best-seller lists for months on end, this is a hot and spicy novel of ethnic life in new york city and the world of performing arts. the novel develops one of hijuelos' most common themes: how immigrants adjust to coming to the united states and how they see themselves in relation to their new culture. also, the book showcases hijuelos' distinctive, richly detailed description of his characters' lives written in a prose-style that evokes the rhythms of cuban music and it is, without doubt, a really great read.
