Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 40 pages. Fine. New Edition of the author's short story. Now considered one of Paul Auster's finest achievements. Originally published in The New York Times on December 25, 1990, it was subsequently published in book form by William Drenttel Publishers in 1992. The latter utilized austerely elegant illustrations by Brian Cronin. This edition features dazzling, all-new illustrations by Isol, and as such, is not just a Reissued but truly a New Edition. A brilliant production by Raquel Jaramillo and Isol: Small-sized volume format. Pictorial hard boards with bright red cloth overboards and titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Text by Paul Auster. Art by Isol. Printed on thick glossy stock paper in Hong Kong to the very highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Paul Auster's "Auggie Wren's Christmas Story", commissioned by The New York Times to commemorate during the holiday season the beginning of the last decade of the 20th century, in a completely new and enchanting edition. " 'How does one write an unsentimental Christmas story? ', Auster unburdens himself to his friend at his local cigar shop, a colorful character named Auggie Wren. 'A Christmas story? Is that all? If you buy me lunch, my friend, I'll tell you the best Christmas story you ever heard. And I guarantee every word of it is true'. And an unconventional story it is, involving a lost wallet, a blind woman, and a Christmas dinner. Everything gets turned upside down. What is stealing? What is giving? What is a lie? What is the truth? Vintage Auster and pure pleasure: A truly unsentimental but completely affecting tale" (Publisher's blurb). The accompanying illustrations by the Argentine artist Isol are colorful, witty, and radiant (where Cronin's were subdued, in dreamy pastel colors). It is not a question of choosing between the 1992 and the 2004 Editions. Both are supremely beautiful, and collectors should have them both. A Christmas story for all seasons, for all ages, and for all time, this is a "must-have" edition for Paul Auster collectors. This copy is prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Paul Auster. This title is now highly collectible. This is one of only two signed copies of the New Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, one of the most beautiful copies we have ever seen. A rare signed copy thus. One of the finest living American writers. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PAUL AUSTER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0805077235.
