About this Item
Original pictorial dust jacket (price-clipped), acquamarine green cloth, with gilt-stamped titles on spine. Open chip to head of spine of dust jacket, affecting one letter of text, some additional small chipping and closed tear to top of jacket. Very light shelf wear to edges of cloth. Dust jacket illustration by Lynton Lamb. Still, a neat and tidy book. Simply put, "Doting", is about an open marriage that is going swell until the husband chooses a woman 25 years his junior. (Bad form.) Green pairs simple moments with his usual genius for symbolic and distinctive dialogue. Sometimes compared to Evelyn Waugh, both authors were more than likely results of the dry and withering wit reserved exclusively for post-war England. Green's final novel. Seller Inventory # 4
