› Find signed collectible books: 'The Lonely Polygamist'Book summary:Golden Richards, husband to four wives, father to twenty-eight children, is having the mother of all mid-life crises. His construction business is failing, his family has grown into an overpopulated mini-dukedom beset with insurrection and rivalry, and he is done in with grief: due to the accidental death of a daughter and the stillbirth of a son, he has come to doubt the capacity of his own heart. Brady Udall, one of America's best young fiction writers, tells a tragicomic story of a deeply faithful man who, crippled by grief and the demands of work, religion and family, becomes entangled in an affair that threatens to destroy his family's future. Like John Irving and Richard Yates, Udall's characters engage us to the fullest as they grapple with the nature of need, love and belonging. A beautifully written comic masterpiece, keenly observed and ultimately redemptive, "The Lonely Polygamist" is the unforgettable story of an American family - with its inevitable dysfunctionality, heartbreak and comedy - pushed to its outer limits.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Miracle Life of Edgar Mint'Book summary:If I could tell you only one thing about my life it would be this: when I was seven years old the mailman ran over my head. As formative events go, nothing else comes close. With these words Edgar Mint, half-Apache and mostly orphaned, makes his unshakable claim on our attention. In the course of Brady Udall's high-spirited, inexhaustibly inventive novel, Edgar survives not just this bizarre accident, but a hellish boarding school for Native American orphans, a well-meaning but wildly dysfunctional Mormon foster-family, and the loss of most of the illusions that are supposed to make life bearable. What persists is Edgar's innate goodness, his belief in the redeeming power of language, and his determination to find and forgive the man who almost killed him. The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint is a miracle of storytelling, bursting with heartache and hilarity and inhabited by characters as outsized as the landscape of the American West. [via]

Der Bierdosenbaum.by Brady UdallISBN 3421055041 (3-421-05504-1)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Der Bierdosenbaum.'Book summary:Edgar P. Mint ist der kleine Held in Brady Udalls Roman Der Bierdosenbaum. Ein wirklicher Held: Im Alter von sieben Jahren fährt ihm das Auto eines Postboten über den Kopf. Doch nicht nur dieses Unglück überlebt Edgar, sondern auch die Unbill, die diese Verletzung mit sich bringt: die Entwurzelung von seiner eigentlich auch nie existenten Familie.
Edgar kämpft sich durch -- und er schreibt auf einer Schreibmaschine, denn er ist nicht in der Lage, mit der Hand zu schreiben. Dieser Schreibmaschine vertraut er sich vollständig und hingebungsvoll an. Tausende von Seiten füllt er mit Träumen, Erkenntnissen ("sag nie jemandem, er soll Sch... fressen!"), Entschuldigungen und Beobachtungen.
Wunderbar, wie Brady Udall den Leser teilhaben lässt am Erwachsenwerden dieses Jungen, der trotz seiner Lebensumstände nie auf die schiefe Bahn gerät. Edgar bleibt immer "bei sich", und erstaunlicherweise scheint er von Anfang an zu wissen, wo es langgeht, was er will -- und was er sicher nicht will. Und meisterlich versteht es der Autor, scheinbar verloren gegangene oder unwichtige Handlungsstränge zu einem sehr rührenden (jedoch nicht kitschigen!) und überaus überraschenden Ende zu verknüpfen. Filmreif! --Jörg Thatje [via]
