About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1958. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/no jacket. lightwear to tips, corners and edges of the book, no jacket, clean and unmarked. First printing, no others noted. The Times Literary Supplement has called it a 'slight but bookishly funny early novel', in which Amis's alter ego Garnet Bowen is 'ludicrously sent off to Portugal in search of a reclusive writer named Wulfstan Strether', and admired the more serious and eloquent tone achieved when, finding himself in Lisbon.. " Amis however was unhappy with this his third novel, ".. really cobbled it together out of straightforwardly autobiographical experiences in Portugal, with a kind of mystery story rather perfunctorily imposed on that. The critics didnt like it, and I dont blame them really. I had a look at it the other day and parts of it are not too bad. But its really a very slipshod, lopsided piece of work." Most items ship with tracking numbers and (generally over $15.00) jacket protectors if applicable. Clean recycled packing material will be used when possible.
