New York: Doubleday, 2009. SIGNED. 1st/1st. NF/F. Stated First Edition. First printing with complete 10 number line starting with 1. Signed by Frederick Barthelme on the title page. Indentation/bump to spine crown. The dust jacket is unclipped ($24.95) and Fine. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover.
The New York Times writes, "’Waveland’ is either a funny novel about a sad middle-aged man or a sad novel about a funny middle-aged man."
Set amidst the tatters of post-Katrina Mississippi, partially retired architect Vaughn Williams does what he can to remain "viable". Battling the doldrums of midlife, he teaches an occasional class, scours the Internet, and thinks obsessively about his late father. When his ex-wife seeks refuge from her hotheaded boyfriend, he agrees to let her move in. Add in Vaughan's annoyingly successful younger brother and the result is an emotionally resonant tale of mortality, love, regret, and redemption that is unique to Barthelme's style.
