DESCRIPTION

COETZEE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVING AUTHORS AND NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION. TWICE WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE AND WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE.

THIS IS A PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF COETZEE'S 1ST BOOKER WINNING NOVEL. IT IS A TRUE FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING PUBLISHED BY RAVAN PRESS OF SOUTH AFRICA AND HAS BEEN SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. SIGNED COPIES OF THIS TITLE ARE VERY VERY RARE. THIS AUTHOR DOESN'T SIGN MANY BOOKS.

I PURCHASED THIS BOOK FROM A CHARITY CALLED THE OAK TREE PRESS A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK. COETZEE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THEM WHEN THEY REPRODUCED THIS NOVEL AS PART OF THEIR FIRST CHAPTER SERIES. COETZEE DONATED SIGNED COPIES FOR THEM TO SELL TO RAISE FUNDS.

A STUNNING EXAMPLE, YOU WILL HAVE TO GO A LONG WAY TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS NOVEL.
