Dust jacket is in good condition currently enclosed in library clear protective covering. 'The Black Prince is a story about being in love; it is also a study of an artist's inspiration, a love song to Shakespeare, and many other things. It is certainly a very exciting tale. The hero and narrator, Bradly Pearson, is an elderly 'blocked writer' whose best friend Arnold Baffin, a considerably younger man, is a deplorably successful producer of best-sellers. Jealousy, fear, love, hate and misunderstanding bedevil this increasingly complex relationship. Bradley is encompassed by predatory friends and relative; his long-vanished and now very rich ex-wife appears with maddening plans for a heart-warming reconciliation; his delinquent brother-in-law follows, hoping for a windfall or at least some interesting trouble; Arnold's wife nourishes an emotional attachment to him; Arnold's teenage daughter wants him to teach her to be a writer.Bradley cannot stand it any longer; he attempts to run away but finds himself the captive of an ambiguous power beyond his control.And so a very intellectual thriller moves to its violent climax. This is a remarkable novel, compelling both as a story with a marvellously involuted plot and as a meditation on the natureof art, of love, and of the power of human relationships.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Special Edition. An extremely rare SIGNED advance proof from 1973; this is paper covered and it screams 'authentic' because it is without any attempt to make it look good. The paper it's printed on is pulpy stuff. It has a flimsy unadorned cover which has been left out in the sun. It has just the title, publisher and author's name printed on it in black. This is, however, the very first version of this celebrated novel, and it was issued in a tiny number, and as far as I know this is the only copy to be SIGNED. Signed by Author.
