Book Description
Jonathan Cape, 1962. Hardcover London: Jonathan Cape, 1962. First edition. Cloth. Fine. Signed by the author in May 1993. Although not his first book, as he had published poetry, and for the theatre, in the West Indies going back to the late 40's, this was his first book published in Great Britain. His first book to be published in the U.S., where he has lived and taught for many years, came two years later. He won the Nobel Prize in 1992, a full thirty years after this book's publication. A lovely copy - the green boards and jacket very bright and tight, with virtually no wear. Light foxing on the top edge. All four corners clipped, not affecting price, which seems to be common for this scarce book. Quite uncommon in this condition, and especially signed.
