J by Howard Jacobson
Hardcover, UK | Signed and Inscribed | 1st Edition | 1st Printing | 2014 | Publisher: Jonathan Cape
A searing and philosophically audacious signed and inscribed first edition from Howard Jacobson — winner of the Man Booker Prize 2010 for The Finkler Question, and widely recognised as one of the most brilliant and uncompromising novelists writing in English today. J was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2014, confirming Jacobson’s extraordinary standing — a rare double Booker recognition. The novel is a chilling dystopian fable set in a future where a catastrophic event in the past has been almost completely suppressed from public memory, and where two people fall in love against a backdrop of creeping totalitarianism and collective forgetting. A profound meditation on memory, history, and the perpetual possibility of evil. Published by Jonathan Cape.
Signed and inscribed by the author: "To Paul."
Condition: As New. Minor crease on the dust cover at the top of the spine.
A signed inscribed first edition of a Booker Prize shortlisted novel by a Booker Prize winner — an exceptional collectible.
