THROW

Please see any and all photos connected with this listing. A bit scuffed but all pages intact and legible. Good reading copy. Clean. No store stamps. --- --- This close, uncommonly, uncomfortably well done novel focuses, with both considerable precision and compression on an obsession, from the time when, seemingly unreasonably, Harold Makepiece throws a brick through the window of ""odiously righteous"" Greensmith. The cathartic exhilaration which follows stimulates him to repeat the act which is then paralleled with abusive, obscene telephone calls and letters. Otherwise it would seem that Harold is a nondescript middle-aged man. However, as it develops, and the novel is developed with tremendous care and consistency, the vendetta is not unmotivated: Greensmith had been responsible for the accidental death of Harold's only son some four years ago. . .KIRKUS REVIEW. . .See photos for additional content. . .
