And now comes his latest masterwork, \u003ci\u003eVanishing Point\u003c\/i\u003e, wherein an elderly writer (identified only as \"Author\") sets out to transform shoeboxes crammed with notecards into a novel—and in so doing will dazzle us with an astonishing parade of revelations about the trials and calamities and absurdities and often even tragedies of the creative life—and all the while trying his best (he says) to keep himself out of the tale. Naturally he will fail to do the latter, frequently managing to stand aside and yet remaining undeniably central throughout—until he is swept inevitably into the narrative's starting and shattering climax. A novel of death and laughter both—and of extraordinary intellectual richness.\u003cb\u003eDavid Markson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of five novels, including \u003ci\u003eSpringer's Progress\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWittgenstein's Mistress\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eReader's Block\u003c\/i\u003e. He is the recipient of several awards and fellowships, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and a Salon Book Award. He lives in New York City.","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304495403237,"sku":"NP9781593760106","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781593760106.jpg?v=1767743382","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/vanishing-point-isbn-9781593760106","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
