Beginner's Greek by James Collins SIGNED Time and New Yorker Magazine HC

Description: Signed and Inscribed by James Collins 1st Edition Dust Jacket Now Protected by a Brodart Cover Please see pictures for more information and detail All will be well because, in the world as Collins sees it, all can be well. This is not a world of struggling to pay the bills or yelling at noisy kids in a grungy minivan or facing the existential sadnesses of big-box stores. This is a beautiful world of enlightened aristos, the kind of people who know not only wine but Italian art and, to a great extent, themselves. It is a world as Ralph Lauren might create it if Ralph Lauren had the imagination to give souls to his beautiful models. In a small but glaringly wrong note, the flap-copy writer for “Beginner’s Greek” compares Collins in passing to Tom Wolfe. No. Wolfe (like Scott Fitzgerald) was an outlander who came to New York with a remorseless eye for the same upper classes he was determined to penetrate. Collins, who grew up well-off in New York and himself worked briefly in finance, has an insider’s eye, and a kinder one.(NY Times Book review)*****The book is in excellent condition.
