First edition of this groundbreaking work. Octavo. Signed by the author on the title page. Near fine in a very good dust jacket that shows only light fading to the spine and with wear to the flap folds.
Stylistically influenced by Hemingway, this work, "is distinguished by its honesty and lack of self-pity; the central figure is unexceptional in every respect but his sexual choices" (Stringer, 690). "One of the best novels of its kind. . . . It isn’t sentimental, and it is frank without trying to be sensational and shocking" (Christopher Isherwood).
