• For Your Consideration: • A SIGNED First-Edition HARDCOVER: • “POISON PEN (Or, Live Now and Pay Later): A NOVEL” (Stuart Wright, 1986) (Hardcover, First Edition, First Printing) • BY GEORGE GARRETT • SIGNED & INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR • “GEORGE GARRETT is an insightful, technically adroit writer.” —HARVEY PEKAR, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • “Told in and around the point of view, the strange life and hard times of a post-modern American picaro, JOHN TOWNE, a despicable character for whom nothing at all, not even nihilism or deconstructionism or the very meta-fiction in which he finds himself doing time, seems to be sacred, immune from vulgar hooting and jeering, POISON PEN has much to offend most readers and, indeed, something to offend everyone, literate or not. Even strong and dedicate defenders of the boundless vistas of the First Amendment may be driven back to question their basic assumptions about the rights and nature of Man/Woman…. Language is another thing that takes a beating here. You won’t hardly believe all the abuses and indignities that the American vernacular is forced to endure. Good grammar is mugged, syntax is raped; proper idiom is rolled like a drunk.” —THE PUBLISHER • “GEORGE GARRETT was the only Renaissance man I knew.” —JOSEPH BLOTNER• “One of America’s most important, prolific, and various authors… [GARRETT has] influenced more writers than FAULKNER.” —MADISON SMARTT BELL • “GEORGE GARRETT was an American literary hero.” —MATTHEW J. BRUCCOLI • “An underappreciated American writer.” —WALL STREET JOURNAL• “GARRETT is a major writer.” —STEVE YARBROUGH• “There is no writer on the American scene with a more versatile, more eclectic, or more restless talent than GEORGE GARRETT. There. I’ve been wanting to say that in print for a long time.” —RICHARD BAUSCH • “One of the top luminaries of Southern literature…this remarkable man of…vast intelligence, wit, and talent.” —LYNDA BYRD COOK, ‘DANCING IN THE FLAMES’ • “MR. GARRETT remained largely out of the limelight, championed by respected novelists like RICHARD BAUSCH but not a household name…. Two things united MR. GARRETT’s works: first, a deep concern with Christian themes, particularly the chance of redemption in a fallen world; and second, the exploration of the tantalizingly hazy place where truth, fiction and memory meet…. MR. GARRETT’s work was not to every critic’s taste…. But nearly every reviewer MR. GARRETT encountered praised his rapt attention to the sound of spoken language. As he often said in interviews, he had heard a wash of voices in his head nearly all his life, from the relaxed cadences of the American South to the pearly diction of the Elizabethan court.” —NEW YORK TIMES, THE AUTHOR’S OBITUARY (2008) • “He is a writer who never has repeated himself, and that characteristic is one of the keys to the extraordinary richness of his work. That and GARRETT’s sheer ease with language, as well as the depth and complexity of his work, his willingness to engage the most profound issues facing us as human beings…. Unfortunately, like his independence from literary politics, GARRETT’s innovative and varied approaches to his work have hurt him in the literary and academic marketplace…. Be that as it may, a larger and more comprehending audience eventually found FAULKNER, and I remain firmly convinced that they will one day find GARRETT, too, in the same way and with the same awe and enthusiasm.” —R. H. W. DILLARD, VIRGINIA QUARTERLY• “It is evident to his readers—has been evident for some years—that GEORGE GARRETT is a major American writer…. What may be less apparent…is that his work, which has always delighted in pushing back the accepted boundaries of genres, finding ways to include more and more territory in any given genre, represents some of the most radical literary innovation of our time…. The moods or modes in which GARRETT [experiments] range from tragedy to wit to slapstick comedy to satire to contemplative to pedagogical to lyrical, at least. He is capable of a rhetoric, sometimes keening, often soaring, that possesses SHAKESPEAREAN dimension.”—KELLY CHERRY • “GEORGE GARRETT’s chief strength and enormous uniqueness as an artist and writer may have rested primarily in his ability to say so much, to produce work of a consistently high order, in so many different ways—novels, stories, poems, plays, screenplays, criticism, and more. Yet it was this very talent that probably is most responsible for the fact that his work is not better known. Add to that a deep and unwavering biographical dimension of humility, rare among writers and other artists, and his underdeveloped literary reputation becomes understandable.”—CASEY CLABOUGH, ENCYCLOPEDIA VIRGINIA • “GARRETT has an ear for dialect and a knack for deft and nuanced characterization….” —THE BOSTON REVIEW • “Several…novels of staggering variety have led many readers to think of MR. GARRETT primarily as a fiction writer. However, he was also a poet of rare productivity, freshness, and power.”—HENRY TAYLOR • “Perhaps lauded most for his historical fiction, GARRETT is a that rare thing–a true man of letters, writing poetry, scholarly critiques and even the screenplay for FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER. His career has seen many successes, both in publishing and in the classroom and was capped last year by the Library of Virginia’s Lifetime Achievement Award. But whether grounding his work in his native South or setting it in outer space, GARRETT has never strayed far from his real love, which is the telling of the tale…. A master story-teller is exactly who and what GEORGE GARRETT is.” —TEXT ACCOMPANYING THE 2006 THOMAS WOLFE PRIZE AWARDED TO GEORGE GARRETT• “A devastating and amusing social commentary and critique on virtually all aspects of American life, through poison pen letters. GARRETT aims subtle nicks at politicians and celebrities, as well as the IRS and the ‘Establishment.’ The comedy is dark, to say the least, and the structure of the book is very untraditional… A good, fun read that spares no feelings.” —AL, AMAZON REVIEW• “GEORGE GARRETT is an artist who uses the English language as a brush to create richly decorated canvases before the eye and mind.” —WILLIAM HOFFMAN • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “POISON PEN (or, Live Now and Pay Later): A Novel” AUTHOR: GEORGE GARRETT DRAWINGS: JONATHAN BUMAS TYPE: HARDCOVER NUMBER OF PAGES: 258 PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: Stuart Wright (Winston-Salem, North Carolina), 1986 EDITION: FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING *RE: On the Copyright Page, the statement “First Edition.” NOTE: This copy is NOT ex-library NOR a book-club edition.

We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you.3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package.

OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay.

The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective.

Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven’t described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math).
