About this Item

First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 21.5 � 13.5cm, 96pp. Signed to the title page by Alan Judd. A world-renowned writer living in the South of France owes his extraordinary career to a mysterious literary spirit - or is it a demon? - that controls him. The existence of this supernatural muse, and the price it exacts, remain hidden until the famous writer?s death, when the spirit is transferred to a rising but as yet unformed literary hopeful, whose own celebrity begins immediately and inexplicably to grow. The only clues to these two possessions are an ancient, inscrutable manuscript and the continuing presence of an apparently ageless woman who attaches herself in turn to these gifted but soon distracted and eventually desperate men. And as the narrator, a guileless teacher of literature, pieces their stories together, we begin to see what can happen when an artist surrenders to the charm of fame. Condition: This copy is in very good shape, with some light spotting to the pages' top edge, and light tanning to the pages. The dustwrapper is unclipped and has a very little edgewear.

Shipping Terms

A note on our shipping: due to the ever increasing cost of sending books abroad (recent price changes for Royal Mail have reduced the costs to the US but Australia and Asia are rising), we have had to raise our prices in line with the increases.

We post at cost and if the book is cheaper to post than the default price shown by abebooks, we will reduce this cost when processing the sale. Alternatively, you can check the correct price at www.coxandbudge.co.uk before ordering where it is costed by weight.
