About this Item
First American edition, and the first with this title (published in the U.K. as *Postures*). Pictorial cloth. Near fine lacking the rare original printed glassine dust jacket. Author's second book, and first novel, about "The Game of Adultery in the Latin Quarter of Paris," and considered by many to be autobiographically about the author's affair with her mentor Ford Madox Ford, while her husband was in prison. Filmed in 1981 as *Quartet* by Merchant and Ivory, with a screenplay by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, and featuring Alan Bates, Maggie Smith, and Isabelle Adjani. Smith won a BAFTA for Best Actress, and Adjani won Best Actress at Cannes. The flimsy and fragile printed jacket is pretty much impossible to find; we've only seen it once. Seller Inventory # 539352
