THE JEW OF NEW YORK: A Historical Romance
New York: Pantheon Books, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed, with an original drawing, by Ben Katchor on the verso of the front flyleaf. Much as he does in his acclaimed comic strip Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer, Katchor uses the intricacies of urban social life to create a dense, whimsically inventive portrait-in-comics of New York City, this time at the dawn of the capitalist age. Square octavo: [vi], 97, [1] pp. with black-and-white illustrations throughout. With the wraparound band on the rear board. Minor bumping to the corners; otherwise very good. Very good. Item #78743
