First edition of the author's second novel. A masterpiece in experimental literature, incorporating many unusual and pioneering features, switching from first- to third-person, and including the famous cut-through leaves revealing a partial description of a deadly knife attack several pages on.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; unmarked internally; publisher's black cloth, gilt lettering to spine, with the price-clipped dust-jacket, slight toning and soiling, minor edge-wear, else very good.
