It was published by Europa Editions in the US and by Chatto & Windus in the UK. The novel was awarded the 2021 Booker Prize, making Galgut the third South African to win the Prize, following Nadine Gordimer and J. M. Coetzee. ***"The Promise" is a family saga spanning four decades, each of which features a death in the family. It concerns the Afrikaner Swarts family and their farm located outside Pretoria. The family consists of Manie, his wife Rachel, and their children Anton, Astrid, and Amor. The titular promise in the novel is Rachel's dying wish, in 1986, that their back domestic servant, Salome, be given ownership of a house on the family's property. This promise, overheard by a young Amor, is made by Manie but not fulfilled. After nearly a decade, the siblings reunite at the family farm after their father suffers a fatal snakebite. Anton inherits the house and assures Amor he will follow through on the promise but does not do so. Another decade passes, and tension grows between the siblings as Astrid and Anton resist Amor's appeals to honour the promise and legally transfer the property to Salome, who now lives in it.'

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 269 pages. Published in 2021. The author's eighth novel. Damon Galgut's finest achievement. The true first. The First Hardcover Edition in its First Printing and First-State DJ (NO "2021 Booker Prize Winner" Imprint). Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original and in the United States only. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Damon Galgut's "The Promise". His masterpiece. "Both tender and brutal. Brilliantly illuminates how both a small family and a large world endure - or don't endure. I will remember this beautifully devastating book, its enigmatic heroine for a long time" (Peter Cameron). "Recalls the great achievements of Modernism in its imagistic brilliance, its caustic disenchantment, its relentless research into the human. For formal innovation and moral seriousness, Damon Galgut is very nearly without peer. He is an essential writer" (Garth Greenwell). "The most important book of the last ten years" (Edmund White). Damon Galgut was born to write, has published eight novels (as of 2021) and a short story collection. This body of work is all the more impressive because by his own admission, Galgut is a slow, painstaking writer, who still writes longhand on notebooks. Until recently, he remained a relatively obscure figure, known to and admired by mainly British and South African readers and fellow writers, who were fortunate to have discovered his work as it unfolded, developed, and matured over time. All that has now changed for good. We have quite a bit of catching up to do with this literary artist who is, indisputably albeit belatedly, the living definition of writer's writer. An absolute "must-have" title for Damon Galgut collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the true First Hardcover Edition/First Printing/First-State DJ (NO "2021 Booker Prize Winner" Imprint) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The American Edition precedes ALL other editions, notably the South African Edition, by several months. Damon Galgut was not able to sign a single copy at the time of publication due to COVID, until now, in 2022. That, plus its "true first" status makes it a necessary edition for collectors. A rare copy thus. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2003 for "The Good Doctor". Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, yet again, in 2010 for "In A Strange Room". Winner of the Booker Prize, at long last, in 2021 for "The Promise". One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DAMON GALGUT TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1609456580. no.
