Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reading Copy of Uncorrected Proofs in paperback. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. 297pp, 15 illustrations. "In 1874, Moses Harvey--eccentric Newfoundland reverend and amateur naturalist--was the first person to photograph the near-mythic gian…t squid, draping it over his shower curtain rod to display its magnitude. In PREPARING THE GHOST, what begins as Harvey's story becomes spectacularly 'slippery and many-armed' (New Yorker) as Matthew Gavin Frank winds his narrative tentacles around history, creative nonfiction, science, memoir, and meditations about the interrelated nature of them all. In his full-hearted, lyrical style, Frank weaves in playful forays about his trip to Harvey's Newfoundland home, Frank's own childhood and family history, and a catalog of peculiar facts that recall Melville's story of obsession with another deep-sea dwelling leviathan. An 'exquisite investigation into our propensity to mythologize the mysterious' (Denver Post), PREPARING THE GHOST is a profound meditation on the art of storytelling, the impulse to obsess, and the legends we leave in our wake." [publisher copy] "With hand on heart I can truly say that I loved every word of it."--Simon Winchester. "Slyly charming, stunning writing and perversely wonderful research. Alluring. It's hard to imagine a better book about not entirely understanding giant squids."--Jon Mooallem, New York Times Book Review. "Like the giant squid at the center of this enchanting inquiry, PREPARING THE GHOST is a multi-tentacled and entirely captivating saga of profound mystery and relentless pursuit."--Dinty W. Moore. "The most original book I have read in years."--Lidia Yuknavitch. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.

Small octavo, dustwrapper,297 pp.,black and white illustrations. Moses Harvey was the eccentric Newfoundland reverend and amateur naturalist who first photographed the near-mythic giant squid in 1874, draping it over a shower curtain rod to display its magnitude. In Preparing the Ghost, what begins as Moses' story becomes much m…ore, as fellow squid-enthusiast Matthew Gavin Frank boldly winds his narrative tentacles around history, creative nonfiction, science, memoir, and meditations about the interrelated nature of them all. In a full-hearted, lyrical style reminiscent of Geoff Dyer, Frank weaves in playful forays about his research trip to Moses' Newfoundland home, Frank's own childhood and family history, and a catalog of bizarre facts and lists that recall Melville s story of obsession with another deep-sea dwelling leviathan. Though Frank is armed with impressive research, what he can't know about Harvey he fictionalizes, quite explicitly, as a way of both illuminating the scene and exploring his central theme: the big, beautiful human impulse to obsess. Also available in paperback [stock id 38156].
