New York: Alfred A. Knopf, Date: 1980. First Edition. Cloth. Very Fine/Very Fine. 8vo, beige cloth with gold lettering on spine & embossed cover with "JG," Mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket (unclipped) with upsidedown man entangled in buck horns by Daniel Biamonte who executed 9 more in-text full-page B&W illustrations, [viii] + [246] deckled pages + [2] A Note on the Type. John Gardner (1933 - 1982) was an American novelist, essayist, literary critic and university professor. He is best known for his 1971 novel Grendel, a retelling of the Beowulf myth from the monster's point of view. A tour de force! Gardner's other highly respected novels include The Sunlight Dialogues, about a disaffected policeman asked to engage a madman fluent in classical mythology; Grendel, a retelling of the Beowulf legend from the monster's point of view, with an existential subtext; and October Light, about an embittered brother and sister living and feuding with each other in rural Vermont (the novel includes an invented "trashy novel" the woman reads). This last book won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1976. Gardner was killed in a motorcycle accident on September 14, 1982. Freddy's Book is Gardner's illustrated novel Freddy's Book, written by an 8-foot tall college student, which brings to life 16th century Scandinavia. The recreation is filled with dreams, escapes, lords, knights, and peasants who struggle with evil and ...

New York Alfred A. Knopf 1980 Hardcover Fine in Near Fine jacket First edition. Fine in near fine dustwrapper with some toning on the spine. inscribed to Nicholas Delbanco and his wife: "To Nick and Elena with love as always, John Gardner." Gardner and acclaimed novelist and critic Delbanco first forged a friendship when Delbanco hosted Gardner during a reading tour at Bennington College in 1974. Delbanco ended up hiring Gardner for the English Department at the College. They and their families began a close professional and personal relationship in which each of the authors strove to critique the other's works in private and promote them in public, Gardner touting Delbanco as "one of the country's best novelists." Each acknowledged the contribution of the other in developing both their theories of literature and for specific elements of their respective works, whether it be Delbanco using Gardner's title *Stillness* for one of his novels or Gardner using Delbanco's writing to help clarify the husband-wife relationship in one of his own works. Delbanco's home and family became a refuge for both Gardner and his first wife during their messy divorce. Following Gardner's death in a 1982 motorcycle accident, Delbanco became Gardner's literary executor; editing and contributing an introduction to Gardner's posthumously published *Stillness and Shadows*. Delbanco's daughter Francesca, who was an occasional babysitter of Gardner's children, and who has herself published two ...
