Description: UP FOR AUCTION:LORD OF THE BARNYARD : KILLING THE FATTED CALF AND ARMING THE AWARE IN THE CORNBELT by TRISTAN EGOLF. [publisher: Picador, London, 1989 ] Hardcover First Edition Debut novel by young Paris-based American writer who died in 2005. English edition precedes the U.S. by nine months (and was itself preceded by French edition). "The contrary spirits of Sinclair Lewis and Thomas Pynchon, as well as of John Kennedy Toole, hover over this unruly first novel, a satirical mock-epic of middle America and, at least in part, a boldly imagined allegory of the struggles of American labor."--Kirkus Reviews (1/15/99). A powerful and vibrant American voice that ended way too soon. Incredible first novel. THIS IS NOT AN EX-LIBRARY OR REMAINDER COPY!A NEAR FINE book in a NEAR FINE jacket. Unread. Book is tight and square with just a hint of toning to page edges and wear to spine ends, otherwise tight and square with NO writing, previous owner names, bookplates etc...in the book itself. The dust jacket has little wrinkles to edges/folds (see photos). Jacket is unclipped with $12.99 Pounds Sterling price intact. A collectible copy of an amazing book!All items are carefully packed in bubble-wrap and placed INSIDE a BOX for shipping. MEDIA RATE shipping! Insurance Is Included. I will still ship Priority if REQUESTED, but Priority can be quoted and will be charged at actual cost( minus media rate cost).IThanks for looking at my auction. Good Luck! BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: All images taken with a digital camera. I DO NOT use a scanner and any images of interior pages are taken carefully (The book is not flattened down to take images). Also I use a flash so some of the white "Hot" spots on the top and bottom of Books or along folds are caused by the flash and the reflection from the Mylar protector. Please refer to description for confirmation of condition.
