New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1981
'An extraordinary novel. One of the most important to come out of the English-speaking world in this generation.' (Robert Towers, The New York Times Book Review).
The first American edition, preceding all others.
First edition, first impression; 8vo; unmarked internally; publisher's cloth-backed boards, titles to upper board and spine in silver, with the unclipped dustjacket, a few nicks to extremities, short closed tear to top edge of front panel, otherwise a very good copy.
