Book Description Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First U.K. Edition/First Printing. This beautiful copy of the UK Edition has been SIGNED by T.C. Boyle on the title page! This is the author's magnificently larger-than-life first novel. Mr. Boyle, a writer of prodigal talent, brilliantly and sometimes outrageously embroiders his story, inventing characters, transposing events, but however fanciful he may sometimes be, the novel emerges as a wonderfully vivid record of adventure, and a picture of the best and the worst aspects of eighteenth-century vitality.
