Description
New York, NY: Poseidon Press (1975)
First Edition.
Near fine in dust jacket with very mild shelf wear.
Winner of the 1976 National Book Award,
J R
is a biting satire about the many ways in which capitalism twists the American spirit into something more dangerous, yet pervasive and unassailable.
At the center of the novel is a hilarious eleven year old--J R--who with boyish enthusiasm turns a few basic lessons in capitalist principles, coupled with a young boy's lack of conscience, into a massive and exploitative paper empire. The result is one of the funniest and most disturbing stories ever told about the corruption of the American dream.
