Item Info

THEROUX, Alexander

Darconville's Cat

Garden City: Doubleday 1981.

$850.00

First edition, first issue, with pp.(483-4) as a dot-matrix grid. A couple of small stains on the board, else near fine in very good dustwrapper with some tears at the crown. Inscribed by the author to his youngest sister Mary: "for Mary, I love you dearly. Alex. May 1981," and with her ownership stamp embossed on two different pages. The author's best regarded novel, and one that will probably stand as a masterpiece of sorts. A nice association.
