ONE HAND CLAPPING
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1972. First American Edition. Hardcover. Review copy, with the publisher's slip laid in. Inscribed by Anthony Burgess on the half-title. A satire on the vacuity of popular culture, first published in the United Kingdom under the pseudonym Joseph Kell. Burgess (1917-93) deliberately toned down his trademark love of vocabulary for the novel, which among other things lampoons the British television host Hughie Green. Octavo. Original light brown cloth binding, with gilt titles. Tiny bump to the top corner of the rear board; else a fine, unread copy in a fine dust jacket. Fine / Fine. Item #74620
ISBN: 0394472802
Price: $400.00
