Nobody Move by Denis Johnson [FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING] 2009

Nobody Move by Denis Johnson  FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING [2009] FARRAR STRAUS & GIROUX Stunning edition!  True 1st w/ hole filled graphic dust wrapper.  Book features comic inspired pictorial boards. Hardcover and dust jacket; both mint and like new. From the National Book Award–winning, bestselling author of Tree of Smoke comes a provocative thriller set in the American West. Nobody Move, which first appeared in the pages of Playboy, is the story of an assortment of lowlifes in Bakersfield, California, and their cat-and-mouse game over $2.3 million. Touched by echoes of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, Nobody Move is at once an homage to and a variation on literary form. It salutes one of our most enduring and popular genres—the American crime novel—but with a grisly humor and outrageousness that are Denis Johnson’s own. Sexy, suspenseful, and above all entertaining, Nobody Move shows one of our greatest novelists at his versatile best.
