John Steinbeck and John Irving - icons of American Literature.
 On
February 27th, 1902, John
Ernst Steinbeck,
one of the most influential and widely read
authors of the 20th century, was born. His
socially-conscious novels are some of the
greatest works in American literature and
helped earn him the Nobel Prize for
Literature in 1962. Some of his works include
the critically acclaimed Of Mice and Men,
the 1940 Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece
The Grapes of Wrath, and his cross country
travelogue Travels with Charley: In Search
of America. Perhaps his most ambitious novel
and the novel he personally considered to be
his greatest was East of Eden, the
story of
two families, the Trasks and the Hamiltons,
and their interwoven lives. Steinbeck states
about East of Eden: "It has everything in
it I have been able to learn about my craft
or profession in all these years." He further
claimed: "I think everything else I have
written has been, in a sense, practice for
this." FlatSigned is proud to offer from our
collection a magnificent copy of this
literary classic along with other
great copies of some of his finest work in
celebration of his important contribution to
literature as we know it.
 March 2nd, 1942 welcomed
John
Winslow Irving to the world, one of
contemporary literature's finest living
authors. An internationally acclaimed
novelist and Academy-Award winning
screenwriter, all of his books after the
international success of The World
According to Garp in 1978, including
well-known works The Cider House Rules
and A Prayer for Owen Meany, have been
bestsellers. Though many know Irving through
Cider House because of its critically
acclaimed film adaption for which he won his
Academy Award, it was Garp that made
Irving one of the most "bankable" modern
American novelists, an international
bestseller and cultural phenomenon that
launched his career. FlatSigned is proud to
offer a wonderful copy of his masterpiece
along with other classics from his amazing
collection of works.

with Charley: In
Search of America. This book recounts
Steinbeck's 1960 voyage of rediscovery,
accompanied by a distinguished French poodle
named Charley. According to Thom, John's
oldest son, the real reason for the trip was
that Steinbeck knew he was dying and wanted
to see his country that he made a living on
writing about one last time. Hardcover with
original dustjacket. Jacket has minor
edgewear and browning. Book is tightly bound;
light bumping and rubbing. Overall in great
shape.

John Irving SIGNED 1st Printing
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP
Here is a fantastic copy
of John Irving's breakthrough novel The
World According to Garp, the book
that put him on the map as a brilliant
writer! Included with this great collectible
is an affixed bookplate SIGNED by Irving
himself! He is one of today's greatest living
writers who has been compared to Hemingway,
Dickens, and Vonnegut and his signature is
among the most rare of any modern author as
he does very few, if any, signings and is
famous for being very reluctant to sign
books. This is THE SIGNED Irving book you
must have in your
collection!
Hardcover Book in ORIGINAL
DUSTJACKET! Stated FIRST EDITION with the '1'
in the number line on the copyright page. The
$10.95 price is intact on the jacket. The
jacket has minor edgewear and light
scratching. Book is square and tightly bound;
light bumping; clean, crisp pages inside.
