Description: "BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN" SIGNED & DATED BY AUTHOR CHARLES BOCK. THIS SIGNED & DATED 1ST EDITION/1ST PRINTING IS IN NEAR FINE CONDITION WITH LIKE DUST JACKET. A BEAUTIFUL AND COLLECTABLE COPY. Reviews:“Bock’s vision and voice create a fictional landscape as corruptly compelling as Vegas, and as beautiful as the illusions its characters cling to for survival. . . . One word: bravo.”–The New York Times Book Review“An affecting story . . . truly powerful . . . Beautiful Children Dazzles its readers on almost every page. . . . [Charles Bock] knows how to tug at your heart, and he knows how to make you laugh out loud, often on the same page, sometimes in the same sentence.”–Newsweek“Wholly original–dirty, fast, and hypnotic. The sentences flicker and skip and whirl, like the neon city Bock writes about. It will change the way you look at Las Vegas.”–Esquire“Exceptional . . . [Bock’s] ability to share a deep understanding of America’s million or so lost street kids and their tormented parents gives the book a whiff of greatness. . . . This novel deserves to be read more than once because of the extraordinary importance of its subject matter.”–The Washington Post Book World“An anxious, angry, honest first novel filled with compassion and clarity. The language has a rhythm wholly its own–at moments it is stunning, near genius.”–A. M. Homes“From start to finish, Bock never stops tantalizing the reader.”–San Francisco Chronicle“Rich and compelling . . . Captures the hallucinogenic setting like a fever dream.”–Los Angeles TimesAND THANKS
