Price: US$25.00 + shipping
Description: First Edition. In dustjacket. Half binding with gray paper and black fabric. Stamped, silver lettering to spine. A play in five acts. The Stonemasonis a profoundly moving drama set in Louisville, Kentucky in the 1970s, concerning several generations of a black family. McCarthy's narrator, Ben, reveals a painful episode in his family's history, grounding us at the same time in the beautiful dynamic between him and his grandfather, Papaw. Ben, Ben's father, and Papaw are all stonemasons, but in descriptions of the trade we learn as much about this family's capacity for love as we do about constructing sound foundations for houses, barns and bridges. Papaw's knowledge about stonemasonry is analogous to his deep spiritual wisdom, and Ben recognizes both as he looks back on his apprenticeship in the trade at which I thoughtmyself a master and of which I stood in darkest ignorance.Very Good in Very Good dustjacket. Minor discoloration to dustjacket. Binding tight.

Flawless and unread, sealed and laid flat since acquisition, Very Fine. See scans. An example for the collector. A play in five acts by the enigmatic author of The Crossing and winner of the National Book Award. The Stonemason is the story of several generations of a black family of stonemasons in Kentucky. A line from Act 3, Scene 1, quoted on the jacket back flap: "The reason the stonemason's trade remains esoteric above all others is that the foundation and hearth are the soul of human society and it is that soul that the false mason threatens. So. It's not the mortar that holds the work together. What holds the stone trues the wall as well and I've seen him check his four-foot wooden level with a plumb bob and then break the level over the wall and call for a new one. Not in anger, but only to safeguard the true. To safeguard it everywhere. He says that to a man who's never laid a stone that there's nothing you can tell him. Even the truth would be wrong." L13n

Price: US$1750.00 + shipping
Description: First edition of this expansively imagined drama about four generations of an American family. Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by Cormac McCarthy on the half-title page. Additionally signed three times by legendary jacket designer Chip Kidd, on on the front panel, on the half-title page and on the rear panel. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Chip Kidd. The setting is Louisville, Kentucky, in the 1970s. The Telfairs are stonemasons and have been for generations. Ben Telfair has given up his education to apprentice himself to his grandfather, Papaw, a man who knows that "true masonry is not held together by cement but.by the warp of the world." Out of the love that binds these two men and the gulf that separates them from the Telfairs who have forsakenâ"or dishonoredâ"the family trade, Cormac McCarthy has crafted a drama that bears all the hallmarks of his great fiction: precise observation of the physical world; language that has the bite of common speech and the force of Biblical prose; and a breathtaking command of the art of storytelling.
