Booth by Karen Joy Fowler
Hardcover, UK First Edition | 1st Printing | 2022 | Publisher: Serpent's Tail
A remarkable and ambitious first edition from Karen Joy Fowler — the acclaimed American novelist whose previous work We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2014 and became an international bestseller. Booth is Fowler's extraordinary account of the Booth family — the siblings of John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Written from the perspective of the family who loved a man history would forever brand a murderer, it is a profoundly humane, literary novel about the nature of fame, family loyalty, and the shadow cast by one person's actions on everyone around them. Published in the UK by the prestigious Serpent's Tail imprint, it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
Condition: As New, with minor creasing on a few corners and dust cover.
A Pulitzer-shortlisted literary novel in pristine first edition condition — an exceptional collectible.
