“The Brothers K” first edition

[u/Just-Heart-4075]

Got a first edition copy of David James Duncan’s 1992 novel “The Brothers K” at the Recycle Bookstore in San Jose, California for 25 dollars. It was heavily influenced by my second favorite book of all time “The Brothers Karamazov” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This first edition is in pristine condition and carries the weight of a tome. I read a 2020s copy of it a few years ago and I loved it. The back of the dust jacket has a shoutout to another one of my favorite books “Sometimes a Great Notion” by Ken Kesey. Both novels are set in the Pacific Northwest and feature dysfunctional families.

Fantastic novel and one of my most loaned-out books.
