Title page inscribed and signed by the author. "In this truly one-of-a-kind book the author/narrator - a representative in extremis of contemporary American obsession with beauty celebrity transmitted image - finds himself suspended fascinated in the remoteness of our wall-to-wall mediascape. It is a remoteness that both perplexes and enthralls him. Through dazzling sleight of hand in which the public becomes private and the private becomes public the entire book-clicking from confession to family-album photograph to family chronicle to sexual fantasy to pseudo-scholarly footnote to reportage to personal essay to stand-up comedy to cultural criticism to literary criticism to film criticism to prose-poem to litany to outtake-becomes both an anatomy of American culture and a searing self-portrait. David Shields reads his own life - reads our life - as if it were an allegory about remoteness and finds persuasive hilarious heartbreaking evidence wherever he goes." From the Publishers. Dust-jacket binding and interior in very good condition. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover books

2022réf. 63415Salt Lake City UT: Signature Books 2022. Fifth Edition. Paperback. New. 476pp. Octavo. 23cm Illustrated wraps. "When Joseph Smith founded the Church of Christ in 1830 he declared it to be God’s restoration of true Christianity the Kingdom of God on earth. Although he foresaw opposition to such bold claims he could not fathom that time and unforeseen circumstances would help to spawn hundreds of off-shoots and competing denominations—all claiming their origins in a movement born and sustained originally by Smith and Sidney Rigdon. Many of these groups have endured and boast multiple congregations of believers in many countries; others came and went quickly and have long since been forgotten. Some have survived but have only appealed to a handful of believers. Steven L Shields has for decades chronicled the various origins and paths of all known Restoration movements. This fifth edition of his two-volume encyclopedic study includes recent groups born as internet communities. That so many groups and individuals have been unsatisfied with the more mainstream Mormon churches yet cling to tenets of the Smith–Rigdon movement speaks to the strengths of the restoration concept and the naïve view that one denomination can successfully meet all the needs of believers. This title is now available in a two-volume paperback edition. Volume 1: Sections 1–4 Volume 2: Sections 5–12 & Appendices Signature Books paperback books
