Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. London. Jonathan Cape Ltd. 1968. First Edition. Hard Cover. Black boards with gilt spine titles. Clean unmarked contents. Condition. Near Fine. Top edge red. Jacket design by George Coral; tiny knocks at the spine ends barely visible. Corners also barely knocked but wraps are fine and the copy presents very attractively. This novel is a pageant of lustrous images; fields stirring with poppies, butterflies and droning bees; cool, cobbled alleys and baroque buildings; Hollywood lidos strewn with streamlined bronzed bodies and the quilted comfort of luxury hotel rooms. The author recounts with grim wit his bizarre rake's progress Through the tunnels of nightmare and obsession, and he recreates with astounding precision, the terrible and total lucidity of madness. A brilliant sequel to his debut work, A Dandy in Aspic. Seller Inventory # APR9.22002
