[EAN: 9780060120122], Near Fine, [PU: Harper & Row, NY], Jacket, Hardcover. This is a very clean, fresh and nice first printing. An increasingly uncommon first edition in collector's condition. Unclipped. Price stamp on half-title. Hunter explores the American dream, family relationships and jazz music in a thoroughly engrossing story of an unlikely and hugely talented jazz pianist. Born blind into an Italian immigrant family in New York's East Harlem in 1926, this novel explores the pianist's lusty world bounded by his mother's volatility, his huge array of relatives, weekly feasts and his discovery of girls and his rapid rise in the music business. Hunter (a.k.a. Ed McBain) does a wonderful job evoking the times and developing his characters., Books<
