Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 165 pages. Published in 2018. The actor/author's debut novel. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly copies that are signed on a bookplate. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that remains available in multiple subsequent printings, a testament to the respect and admiration Sean Penn commands in mainstream American culture as one of its most serious and artistically ambitious artists. The First Edition is now scarce. "Signed By The Author" white sticker pasted in front. Presents Sean Penn's "Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff". His allegorical novel about present-day America, its amoral weirdness, and its existential discontents. "A scorching, darkly funny novel about Bob Honey, a modern American man, entrepreneur, and part-time assassin. Bob Honey has a hard time connecting with other people. He's tired of being marketed to every moment, sick of a world where even an orgasm isn't real until it is turned into a tweet. A paragon of old-fashioned American entrepreneurship, Bob sells septic tanks to Jehovah's Witnesses and arranges pyrotechnic displays for foreign dictators. He's also a contract killer for an off-the-books program run by a branch of US intelligence that targets the elderly, the infirm, and others who drain our consumption-driven society of its resources" (Publisher's blurb). He just does stuff. "It seems wrong to say that so dystopian a novel is great fun to read, but it's true. I suspect that Thomas Pynchon and Hunter S. Thompson would love this book" (Salman Rushdie). An absolute "must-have" title for Sean Penn collectors. This Autographed Copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the half-title page by Sean Penn. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page or the bookplate that the publisher flooded the market with in order to quench public demand. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws (because they were read) or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writer/artist/film actors of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO ETHAN HAWKE TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1501189042. Signed by Author.
