Omschrijving

A hook: A quiet, daring novel about love, art, and the city that refuses to stand still. Bertram Cope's Year, a cornerstone of early twentieth century fiction, returns in a gleaming edition that honours its daring mix of urban romance and coming-of-age awakening. It moves with the cadence of a modernist pulse, threading gay subtext drama through the social whirl of Chicago's artistic circles while probing how ambition, friendship, and desire shape a life. This is a story of a young man's self-discovery against a backdrop of refined salons, bustling streets, and tacit codes, rendered with clarity, nuance, and moral honesty. Alpha Editions presents a text restored for today's readers and for future generations, inviting both casual readers and classic-literature collectors to experience a work that remains exquisitely relevant. Its themes-identity, belonging, and the tensions between art and society-resonate with parallels to Edwardian era sensibilities and early American queer fiction, offering fresh interpretive depths for study and discussion. The edition doubles as an annotated companion for scholars and a rich, immersive read for those drawn to sophisticated storytelling and sharp social critique. More than a reprint, this is a collector's item and a cultural treasure: a complete modernist work newly accessible, a bridge between historic circles and contemporary readers, and a vital anchor in the canon of classic american novels.
