About this Item

A compelling debut novel from Pete Townshend - legendary guitarist, principal songwriter of The Who, and creator of the landmark rock operas Tommy and Quadrophenia. Originally conceived as an operatic project before evolving into a full-length novel, The Age of Anxiety intertwines the lives of musicians, artists, visionaries, and seekers against themes of creativity, spirituality, obsession, mental health, and redemption. Richly influenced by Townshend's decades of musical storytelling, the novel combines literary fiction with the sweeping emotional scope of rock opera, making this an especially desirable collectible for both modern fiction readers and fans of one of rock music's most influential figures.

This copy is a true First Edition, First Printing, confirmed by the copyright page stating 'First Edition: November 2019' together with the complete first-printing number line ending in 1. The striking dust jacket artwork by Luis Toledo remains bright and vivid, complementing the distinctive orange and yellow publisher's cloth boards.

Book is in Near Fine condition. Binding is square and tight with clean, bright pages and no writing, highlighting, or remainder marks observed. Corners remain sharp with only the faintest handling visible upon close inspection. The original dust jacket is likewise Near Fine, unclipped with the original price intact on the front flap. Jacket presents beautifully with rich colors, clean surfaces, and only extremely minor shelf wear at the extremities. An attractive collector-quality example of Pete Townshend's uncommon first novel.
