The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway
Hardcover, UK | 1st Edition | 1st Printing | 2008 | Publisher: William Heinemann
A brilliant and inventive first edition from Nick Harkaway — the son of John le Carré, and a distinctive, exhilarating writer in his own right. The Gone-Away World was Harkaway's debut novel and an immediate critical sensation, praised by Cormac McCarthy and acclaimed across the literary world. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where reality itself has been unravelled by a weapon that destroys information, the novel blends action, philosophy, martial arts, mimes, and surreal dark comedy into something genuinely unlike anything else in contemporary fiction. It remains one of the most original debut novels of the 21st century. Published by William Heinemann in 2008.
Condition: Very Good, but will show signs of previous ownership. Small stains on page ends.
A first edition of one of the most acclaimed British debut novels of the 21st century — a must for collectors of literary and speculative fiction.
