ANGELO, Ivan. The Celebration.

(New York, NY): Avon Books, 1982.  First US edition.  Softcover.  17.5cm by 10.7cm.  223 pages.  Translated by Thomas Colchie. A richly layered, formally daring novel that defies classical narrative structure. Its innovation lies not only in how it’s written—through fragments, documents, and authorial interruptions—but also in how it implicates the reader in the political and moral crises it portrays.  Highly acclaimed and winner of The Brazilian Publishers Prize.  A very good copy in wrappers.
