    Lethem, Jonathan.
    THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE.

    Edition: 2nd printing.

    New York: Doubleday, (2003.) dj. SIGNED hardcover - Selected as one of the best books of 2003 by the San Francisco Chronicle, which described it thus: 'This magnificent, ungainly, genre-cracking new novel by the author of "Motherless Brooklyn" is about all kinds of things -- about the past 40 years in America, about popular culture as a salve for the unpopular -- but maybe most of all, it's about how whites and blacks misunderstand each other. In exploring this, through the relationship of two teenage boys in a mixed Brooklyn neighborhood, Lethem winds up confronting race in America with a specificity most white novelists since Mark Twain have been too chicken to try.' SIGNED on the title page and dated in the year of publication. ISBN: 0-385-500696.

    Maugham, W. Somerset.
    MRS. CRADDOCK.

    Edition: Reprint.

    New York: Grosset & Dunlap, (c 1928)]. Hardcover - The first sentence sums up this early novel by Maugham: "this book might also be called the triumph of love." And at the end, the comment is made that Bertha "read as fancy prompted her, without a plan, because she wanted to and not because she ought. . . The writers who appealed to their age and not to posterity have by contrast a subtle charm" which certainly sums up Maugham's lesser known works. Both the English and US 1920s editions had some "offensive parts" removed from the original manuscript. 324 pp.

    Condition: Good overall in green cloth with small illustration on front cover (corners somewhat bumped, but a tight and clean copy) , no dust jacket.
