Bernice Rubens – The Elected Member – First UK Edition 1969
£975.00
A first edition, first printing published by Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1969. A very good book with only slight fading to the edges and bumping to the base of the spine. Clean internally with some spotting to the top of the text block. Small name to the front endpaper. In a very good unclipped wrapper with slight chipping to the spine tips, edges and corners. Small vertical crease to the front flap.
Norman, the clever one from a close knit Jewish family in London, at the age of 41 finds himself as a drug addict and confined along with his paranoia and hallucinations. Rubens became the first female author to win the Booker prize with this novel in 1970.
