New York: Farrar, Straus And Giroux, 2008. Stated First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Galchen has created a heartbreaking puzzle of a novel, hilarious and daring. The novel tracks the way we seek to destroy our most precious love affairs and, in so doing, our own sanity. The hero, Leo, is like a brilliant mad scientist trying to prove that the earth is flat because he desperately needs a ledge high enough to jump off of." -- Heather O'Neill, author of Lullabies for Little Criminals. "Erudite and chock-full of heartache, Rivka Galchen's virtuosic debut novel reads like the work of a cutting-edge literary alchemist who has created in her laboratory the Book of the Now. Part thriller, part romance, part autobiography, part psychological study, her book's sweetly skewed brilliance and stealth-bomb sadness will make you swoon with this realization: Yes, these kinds of books are still possible." -- Heidi Julavits, author of The Uses of Enchantment. Book and jacket are fine with minimal edge wear.

About Trolls Treasure

Home-based, online sales only. I am running out of space to keep my collection of books, but I cannot bypass any chance offered at searching out some interesting venue offering books. I dithered for quite some time over this problem, and went right on buying books, until it occurred to me that I could make room for new purchases if I started selling some of my books. So, here I am, a small business, but offering personal service. Happy to answer questions.
