First edition, first printing of ‘The War of the Roses’. Published by Warner Books in 1981. This is a near fine copy. The unclipped dust wrapper is markedly bright for this title, particularly at the spine. No inscriptions within and a little rubbing to the corners.
A darkly comic satire of marital breakdown, portraying divorce as psychological warfare between two affluent professionals. Danny DeVito’s 1989 film adaptation intensifies the cruelty through visual spectacle and farce, starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. While the novel emphasises social critique and emotional erosion, the film heightens physical conflict and black humour, transforming domestic collapse into a brutal, operatic comedy of mutual destruction.
