ROONEY, Sally
Beautiful World, Where Are You
London: Faber and Faber, 2021
8vo., publisher’s pale blue boards, lettered in black to spine; decorative endpapers; yellow ribbon marker; together in the unclipped printed dustwrapper (£16.99 to front flap); pp. [viii], 3-337, [xi]; fine in fine wrapper, with ‘Topping & Company’ wraparound band.
First edition, with full number line 1-10, signed by Rooney to the half title. This the independent book store edition in the yellow wrapper. Together with promotional badge and bookmark loosely included.
Sally Rooney’s third novel, following the huge success of ‘Conversations with Friends’ (2017) and Normal People (2018). This work, which her press release states concerns ‘aesthetics and political crisis’, follows a similar vein to her previous novels in focusing on the everyday lives of ordinary people living in Ireland. The plot follows Alex, Felix, Eileen and Simon and their four intertwining lives, through love, work, relationships, and as they attempt to navigate the modern world which appears to be crashing around them. Rooney’s writing, known for its frank and open style, is epitomised in this narrative. The book received a series of awards upon publication, including the Irish Book Award and the Goodreads Choice Award in 2021.
