Paul Lynch Red Sky In Morning Signed US 1st HB Booker Prize Winner Prophet Song

Description: A rare signed to the title page and unread example of the US 1st printing (with some external bumps) of this acclaimed 2013 debut novel from multiple award-winning Irish author Paul Lynch, who was named as the winner of the 2023 Booker Prize for his 5th novel 'Prophet Song '. This book was nominated for a number of prestigious global literary awards. 'Red Sky In Morning ', published by Little Brown in New York in November 2013, 1st printing of this US 1st edition (the UK 1st was released by Quercus in April 2013), medium modern hardback, [viii] + 279 pages. Hand signed by Paul Lynch at the title page. This is a contemporaneous signature with the release of the book in the US (rather than a copy which has been signed on his post-Booker Prize signing events in the US). I purchased this from an American dealer who acquired a number of signed copies of the book at a signing event in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2013. Internally this copy is in As New unread condition, no other inscriptions or markings. Externally the book is only in very good condition. Whilst it is squarely and tightly bound, there are storage bumps to 3 of the 4 corners, the main one being the upper front; there is also some bumping at the junction of the head of the spine and rear gutter end (see photos 7, 8 and 9). The dustjacket is unclipped at $25.00 and is in near fine condition, with some light crinkling at the corners where the book is bumped. Now housed in a removable protective plastic sleeve. Overall, a nice example of a rare signed Modern First from the 2023 Booker Prize winning author. * A collectable example of the signed US 1st printing of Paul Lynch's debut novel. At the time of listing, I can see no other signed examples of this US 1st edition for sale worldwide on Ebay; there are 4 copies with US dealers on ABEBooks, but at least 3 of these are copies which have been signed by the author this year post his Booker win * ** THE DEBUT NOVEL BY THE WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 2023 ** Spring 1832: Donegal, north west Ireland. Coll Coyle wakes to a blood dawn and a day he does not want to face. The young father stands to lose everything on account of the cruel intentions of his landowner's heedless son. Although reluctant, Coll sets out to confront his trouble. And so begins his fall from the rainsoaked, cloud-swirling Eden, and a pursuit across the wild bog lands of Donegal. Behind him is John Faller - a man who has vowed to hunt Coll to the ends of the earth - in a pursuit that will stretch to an epic voyage across the Atlantic, and to greater tragedy in the new American frontier. Red Sky in Morning is a dark tale of oppression bathed in sparkling, unconstrained imagery. A compassionate and sensitive exploration of the merciless side of man and the indifference of nature, it is both a mesmerizing feat of imagination and a landmark piece of fiction.
