About This Item
London: Canongate, 2017. First edition. Hardback. 299pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Dr James Darke has expelled himself from the world. He writes compulsively in his 'coming of old age' journal; he eats little, drinks and smokes a lot. Meditating on what he has lost - the loves of his life, both dead and alive - he tries to console himself with the wisdom of the great thinkers and poets, yet finds nothing but disappointment. But cracks of light appear in his carefully managed darkness; he begins to emerge from his self-imposed exile, drawn by the tender, bruised filaments of love from his daughter and grandson. Rich in ideas and feelings, this is a provocative debut novel. Book in very good condition. Very light toning to text black edges. Internally clean and unmarked. Dust jacket good and unclipped. Very slight chipping and scuffing to extremities of spine. Light soiling and slight discolouration.
