Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 8vo. University of Queensland Press, St. Lucia, Queensland, Australia. 1981. 296 pgs. Signed by Peter Carey on the title page. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bookstore stamp present to the FFEP. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. For thirty-nine years Harry Joy has been the quintessential good guy. But one morning Harry has a heart attack on his suburban front lawn, and, for the space of nine minutes, he becomes a dead guy. And although he is resuscitated, he will never be the same. For, as Peter Carey makes abundantly clear in this darkly funny novel, death is sometimes a necessary prelude to real life. Part The Wizard of Oz, part Dante's Inferno, and part Australian Book of the Dead, Bliss is a triumph of uninhibited storytelling from a writer of extravagant gifts. E-183; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author.
