"Destiny is a good thing to accept when it's going your way. When it isn't, don't call it destiny; call it injustice, treachery, or simple bad luck": The Franklin Library Edition of God Knows; Signed by Joseph Heller
The Franklin Library signed limited edition of this humorous retelling of King David's life story from his own perspective, privately printed exclusively for the members of The Signed First Edition Society. Octavo, bound in full leather with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in four compartments within raised bands, gilt ruling and tooling to the front and rear panels, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers, ribbon bound in, frontispiece and title page vignette, illustrated. Boldly signed by Joseph Heller on the front free endpaper. In near fine condition. Accompanied by a letter from The Franklin Library laid in.
Joseph Heller's powerful, wonderfully funny, deeply moving novel is the story of David -- yes, King David -- but as you've never seen him before. You already know David as the legendary warrior king of Israel, husband of Bathsheba, and father of Solomon; now meet David as he really was: the cocky Jewish kid, the plagiarized poet, and the Jewish father. Listen as David tells his own story, a story both relentlessly ancient and surprisingly modern, about growing up and growing old, about men and women, and about man and God. It is quintessential Heller.
