The New Republic: A Novel
Signed and inscribed softcover copy of The New Republic: A Novel by Lionel Shriver, published by HarperCollins Publishers Ltd. The personalized inscription and the author's large signature appear on the title page; part of the inscription wording is difficult to decipher, so please refer to the close-up photograph.
This darkly comic political and media satire follows Edgar Kellogg, a former corporate lawyer who takes a foreign-correspondent assignment in a fictional Portuguese region troubled by a separatist terrorist movement. Sent to replace a charismatic missing reporter, Edgar becomes entangled in questions of journalism, terrorism, popularity and the power certain personalities exert over those around them.
Shriver is also the author of We Need to Talk About Kevin, winner of the 2005 Orange Prize for Fiction, now known as the Women's Prize for Fiction. The New Republic was first published in 2012 and showcases her interest in provocative social questions through sharp, satirical fiction.
Seller-graded Very Good. The laminated covers show rubbing, scuffing, scattered marks and light edge and corner wear. Some spotting or age-related discoloration is visible on the photographed interior flap. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual copy offered.
