THE VENTRILOQUISTS finds a young girl, Helene, masquerading as a boy and selling newspapers to survive on the streets of 1943 Brussels. When the Nazis pressure her friend, a publisher of dissident underground newspapers, to betray his cause or die, they and their peers decide to pretend to cave to the German demands, but plan to release a final edition ruthlessly mocking their oppressors, even if it means their own ends.
THIS COPY (shown below) was hand signed on the half-title page by E.R. Ramzipoor at her home. It is a new, unread first edition opened only for signing and comes with a certificate authenticating the signature. Published in August, 2019 by Park Row, an imprint of HarperCollins. So our collectors will know, the dust jackets are made of a material that is easily scuffed, and although every book in our store is new, opened only for signing, these copies show a little ding here or there.
E.R. RAMZIPOOR is a writer based in California. She also works as a content marketer, writing about cybercrime and online fraud. She studied political science at UC Berkeley, where she researched underground literature in resistance movements. Her writing has been featured in McSweeney's and The Ventriloquists is her first novel. Thank you E.R. Ramzipoor for signing our books.
