London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, (1988). The first British edition of one of the most highly praised first novels of the past quarter century and an auspicious literary debut: Powers has gone on to more than fulfill the promise of this novel, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and winner of the Rosenthal Award from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for a book of "considerable literary achievement." Published in the U.K. three years after its original U.S. publication. Text block browning somewhat, as is usual for this title, otherwise fine in a fine dust jacket. [#027997] SOLD
