Richard Chopping – The Fly – First Edition 1965
£75.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Secker & Warburg in London, 1965. This is a very near fine copy. The dust wrapper, designed by the author (and illustrator of various James Bond titles) is plain and strikingly illustrated. The spine of the wrapper is clean but slightly toned, with very slight rubbing at the top and side edges. It has not been price clipped and shows the original 25s. net price. The boards are free from chips and marks and the navy blue cloth clean. The internal pages are free from toning and foxing. The text blocks are bright and white. This copy is free from previous owner’s ink and is, overall, in very near fine condition.
A novel of depravity, lust, and furtive deeds witnessed by a ubiquitous voyeur: a carrion-feeding fly. ‘The Fly’ is an authentic shocker. The author himself calls it an “unpleasant narrative.” So do the critics. But they love it.
