Add to basketNew York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1985. First American edition. First printing, with full letter line including A. Hardcover. Quarter gray cloth over dusky gray paper-covered boards, red spine lettering. Fine in a near-fine dust jacket with a few tiny edge nicks. Publisher's original price intact on front jacket flap ($10.95). Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A tight, clean copy. Octavo, 88 pages. Translated from the French by Leigh Hafrey. Originally published in France in 1983 as "Le Perchoir du Perroquet." A philosophical fable in which a man's surreal experiences explore perception, selfhood, and language. Michel Rio (born 1945) is a French novelist and essayist known for his intellectually rigorous fiction blending myth, science, and metaphysics. "Parrot s Perch" was his first novel published in English translation. His works are mostly rather short. Recurring themes include man's relationship to nature, the ignoble elements of sex, themes from the Arthurian Cycle and suicide. Several of his books feature a writer named Jerome Avalon who questions the nature of writing as an art.
