Description

London, UK: Chatto & Windus. Mint. 1994. First. Hardback copy. The author's first novel. Winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award and the David Higham Award. «The Longest Memory» tells the story of a fiercely intelligent young slave who attempts to flee a Virginia plantation in 1810, and of his old father who inadvertently betrays him. An intense love affair, a forbidden thirst for language and learning, and the painful relationship between a father who believes in stoicism and survival, and his restless, passionate son are evoked in hauntingly lyrical language. ~~~ Author(s): Fred D'Aguiar; Binding material: Cloth; Binding state: Original binding; Binding style: Full; Class: Hardback copy; Condition: Mint; Edition: First; Jacket condition: Mint; Language: English; Pages: 138; Publication year: 1994; Size: Octavo. .
