Books Tell You Why, Inc.

An attractive first edition/first printing in Fine, unread condition in alike, lightly tanned dust-jacket. From the collection of Betty Anderson, legendary art director of publisher Knopf in the late 20th century as evidenced by her (small and unobtrusive) inventory number.

Brad Leithauser's witty and poignant novel tells the story of a friendship between two guys—one from Boston, one from Nashville—that spans three decades. The men meet in college and bond over their shared love of music and the occasional joint trip to see a band. They stay in touch over the years, trading music recommendations and sharing life stories. But as their lives take them in different directions, the bond between them slowly frays. When one of the men dies, the other is left to pick up the pieces of their friendship. Leithauser deftly captures the joy and sorrow of friendship, and the delicate balance we must find between time spent together and time spent apart. Equal Distance is a warm and entrancing story about the ways in which we connect to the people around us.; 8vo.
