Chimera

New York, NY: Random House, Inc, 1972. 1st Trade Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0394481399. Illustrated by George Giusti. Cover Art; First Trade Edition. First Edition stated on copyright page. This book is in Very Good+ condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in mostly clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jackaet is clean and bright, but has a bit of light toning, especially to the corners and edges. The front flap of the dust jacket has two creases. This book is a National Book Award winner. Barth's work is characterized by a historical awareness of literary tradition[11] and by the practice of rewriting typical of postmodernism. He said, "I don't know what my view of history is, but insofar as it involves some allowance for repetition and recurrence, reorchestration, and reprise [...] I would always want it to be more in the form of a thing circling out and out and becoming more inclusive each time." In Barth's postmodern sensibility, parody is a central device. Around 1972, in an interview, Barth declared that "The process [of making a novel] is the content, more or less." Barth's fiction continues to maintain a precarious balance between postmodern self-consciousness and wordplay and the sympathetic characterization and "page-turning" plotting commonly associated with more traditional genres and subgenres of classic and contemporary storytelling." (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket .
