Sophie's Choice
STYRON, William
New York: Random House, 1979. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. First edition, special edition for friends of the publisher and author. Spine lightly sunned, near fine in a good only glassine dust jacket with the front panel detached (but present) and a toned spine. Laid in from the publisher is a handwritten menu on printed cardstock from the River Cafe in Brooklyn celebrating William Styron's birthday and Sophie's Choice on June 11, 1979. The celebration was attended by many figures on the New York literary scene including Kurt Vonnegut, Elizabeth Hardwick, Francine du Plessix Gray, John Marquand, and many others. The first trade edition had a large printing, thus this special edition is particularly desirable. Meryl Streep won an Oscar for her portrayal of the title character in the 1982 film directed by Alan J. Pakula, which also featured Kevin Kline and Peter MacNicol. A *Burgess 99* title and winner of the National Book Award.
