About this Item
First edition, first printing. SIGNED to the publisher's official bookplate applied to front free endpaper, as issued. The Nobel Prize for Literature 2022 winner. The correct, true first U.K. edition with single blurb and only a single endorsement to rear (by Edouard Louis). 240 pages. Translated by Alison L. Strayer. Praised for the "courage and clinical acuity" of her writing. A superior and fault-free copy of a book all too easy to attract detractions - unusually, this copy remains free of the surface blemishes and typical edge bruising to which the edition is prone. Very Fine (As New) in the publisher's original softcover issue (no hardback issue released), with stiff card French flaps - a handsome production. A distinct, collector's copy indeed, and a book likely to remain quite scarce. Offered by D B WATERS RARE BOOKS: Professional, full-time booksellers of fine, select 1st editions, established in 1998. As befits a rare book, all dust-wrappers are housed within transparent, removable protectors. All our stock is fully guaranteed as authentic, a sample of which is presented here on this website.
