About This Item
Dutton, 1995. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Collectible, Fine/Fine. Octavo, hardcover, fine in fine black dj in mylar sleeve. First printing. 324 pp. Marlowe gives us suspense, historical realism, and surreal enchantment, in a novel that rivals its hero's, Poe's, greatest tales. It spins its story on two separate but inexorably converging levels. On the one, we are in nineteenth-century America, as Edgar Allan Poe tells of his nightmare youth, of his obsession with the thirteen-year-old first cousin whom he makes his child bride, of his public triumphs and his private demons. On the other, we are with a phantom Poe living and loving in Paris viewed through his fictional detective, the immortal C. Auguste Dupin.
