V.S. Naipaul – A House For Mr Biswas – First UK Edition 1961 – A Fine Copy – SIGNED and DATED
£4,500.00
A first edition, first printing. A near fine copy with one neat name to the front endpaper and a thin patch of sunning to the foot of the spine; notably free from spotting. Signed on the title page without dedication, and additionally dated: “New York / April 1 1961”.
In the superb fine dust wrapper, vibrantly pink at the spine and only minutely rubbed at the extremities. Naipaul’s masterpiece: comic, poignant, and deeply humane in its account of Mohun Biswas’s struggle for independence, dignity, and a house of his own. Signed, dated copies in this condition are vanishingly scarce.
