"Tomorrow....Tomorrow": First Edition of Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's Petals of Blood; Signed by Him
First American edition of “the definitive African book of the twentieth century” (Moses Isegawa). Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For John Tomorrow....Tomorrow and he knew he was no longer alone Ngugi wa Thiong'o." The inscription is in reference to the final line of this book. Very good in a very good price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Mark Rubin. Rare and desirable signed and with a lengthily unique inscription.
"The Kenyan novelist Ngugi, in his remarkable book Petals of Blood, writes with passion about every form, shape and color power can take. A political novel, yes, but you have to add at once ‘among other things’, since what is so compelling about his political fervour is exactly that it does always set politics among other things" (The Sunday Times).
