NY, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, (1976). The first American edition of his magnum opus, a massive experimental novel that has been called "the most important novel published in Latin America in the 1970s." Winner of the prestigious Romulo Gallegos Prize. Fuentes was only the third author to receive that award, which was first given out in 1967. Warmly inscribed by the author in 1993. Light corner bumping; near fine in a near fine dust jacket with a bit of wear at the crown. A very nice copy of this book, which because of its size is prone to wear readily. Seldom encountered signed or inscribed. [#021929] SOLD
