First editions of each title in the author's acclaimed Albany Cycle. Octavo, 7 volumes. Original boards. Each are signed by William Kennedy on the title page. Legs is fine in a very near fine dust jacket with just a modicum of rubbing. Billy Phelan's Greatest Game is fine in a very near fine jacket with light wear. Ironweed is fine in a fine jacket, as are all the rest of the volumes. A very nice set.
Kennedy won the Pulitzer Prize for Ironweed in 1984, and he wrote the screenplay for the 1987 film adaptation directed by Hector Babenco, which starred Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. The film was mostly shot in Albany. The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role (for Nicholson) and Best Actress in a Leading Role (for Streep). Kennedy's writing continues to paint an ever elaborate picture of the unique city Albany, New York.
