Description
True first edition, this American printing precedes its U.K. counterpart by two years. 8vo, publisher's original light blue cloth, lettered on the spine in gilt, in the original pictorial and printed dustjacket. 158 pp. A fine copy, the text fresh and clean and essentially without flaw, pristine as issued, the blue cloth and dustjacket both very well preserved with light mellowing to the spine panel, the binding is tight and strong.
Edizione: the author's first (and last) novel. "ireland's brilliant and outspoken bard laureate, flamboyant author of borstal boy and the hostage turns his attention to the novel form and makes it his own." though his novel was well received, his death, almost immediately upon the novel's completion, would insure it would be his one and only.
