Hard Cover. First U. S. Edition. Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Seafoam-green boards. The spine is stamped in black. Gray topstain. Octavo. 232pps. There is very mild rubbing to the spine-ends, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has a 1" fully closed tear at the top of the front panel; no chips, soiling, or (other) tears. The original price is intact. An excellent copy of the Irish author's first novel, following a collection of short stories. ".In this tale of a young man's quest for the truth of his identity, static moments of private lives are projected through history and coalesce in a film-like narrative that reconstructs the lives of a society and the individuals who were formed by it. Picture postcards bearing scrawled messages, yellowed photograph albums and the rambling remembrances of an elderly woman are the tools with which the narrator must reconstruct his past and discover the roots of self. As he unravels three generations of ancestors, a compelling saga of intermingled lives and undifferentiated passions unfolds."
