Unlike traditional novels, The Unfortunates is presented in a fragmented and unconventional narrative style, consisting of 27 unbound sections, of which 25 are meant to be read in a random order (excluding the first and last). The novel is a semi-autobiographical account of the narrator's visit to the city of Nottingham to report on a soccer match.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; 27 sections, loose as issued, with pale lilac wraparound band; housed in original pictorial folding box, publication details on the inside left, and on the right-hand side is printed a 'newspaper clipping' from the author, box a little toned and marked, else near-fine.
