V. S. Naipaul
A Bend in the River
New York: Knopf, 1979.
First printing.
Now rather scarce, this is named one of the best 99 novels since 1939, by Anthony Burgess and is a true first edition.
Jacket has corner wear with small chip to edge, otherwise excellent.
A stark depiction of what it feels like to be at the bottom of an unstable society in a modern African country, at the whim of a capricious Dictator and his youth gangs.
Hardcover.
