The Land Across (2013) Signed First Edition Reference

The Land Across follows an American travel writer who visits a small, unnamed Eastern European country and finds himself unable to leave. Published in 2013, the novel has been compared to Kafka — the bureaucratic nightmare of a surveillance state combined with supernatural elements and Wolfe’s characteristic narrative unreliability.
