Mick Jackson – The Underground Man – First Edition 1997
£45.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Underground Man’, published by Picador in 1997. A near fine book without inscriptions in a near fine dust wrapper with the associated wrap-around band. Corners a little rubbed
A fictionalised account inspired by the eccentric 19th-century Duke of Portland. The novel follows the reclusive aristocrat as he constructs an elaborate network of tunnels beneath his estate. Told through diary entries and observations of those around him, the story explores themes of isolation, memory, and madness. Jackson combines dark humour with poignant introspection, creating a richly imaginative portrait of a man retreating from the world into the depths of his own mind.
