Description
1990 SIGNED Rabbit at Rest by John Updike Literature Pulitzer Borzoi 1ed
This ‘Rabbit at Rest’ is an attractive, collectible copy of this Pulitzer Prize winner. Updike's most famous work is his Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom series, which chronicles Rabbit's life from young adulthood to death. Both ‘Rabbit Is Rich’ (1981) and ‘Rabbit At Rest’ (1990) received the Pulitzer Prize, making Updike one of only three authors to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once. He published more than twenty novels and more than a dozen short story collections, as well as poetry, art criticism, literary criticism and children's books.
This 1990 printing is a Borzoi book by Alfred A. Knopf. When Alfred Knopf founded his company in 1915, he not only wanted to publish the most distinguished writers of the day, he wanted to present their work in the most beautiful editions possible.
Alfred employed the very best in production and design so that each Knopf book would be treasured as much for its handsome design as it was for its thoughtful prose. He paid special attention to such details as paper stock, typography, layout, bindings, endpapers, top stains, and jackets. And, of course, the one element a book had to have before it could be called a Knopf book: it had to have the borzoi logo.
This example is also signed by the author to the prior owner!
