US first edition hardback, signed by the author on the title page. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 2006. Stated first edition, first printing. Terrorist is one of John Updike’s final novels, a provocative and closely observed work engaging with faith, alienation, and American identity in the post-9/11 era. 8vo. Original boards, in original illustrated dust jacket.
Book is in very good condition: binding firm and square; pages clean and bright; no bookplates or additional inscriptions beyond the author’s signature. Interior remains well preserved.
Dust jacket is very good, with light general shelf wear only; no tears or price clipping. Spine and edges remain clean and present well.
A desirable signed first edition of a late John Updike novel, of particular interest to collectors of modern American literature, signed literary fiction, and Updike’s major works.
