Donleavy, J.P. The Ginger Man
New York McDowell, Obolensky 1958 First American Edition Hard Cover Fine Very Good
Irish-American author Donleavy's picaresque rogue Sebastian Dangerfield has entered the canon of the best literature of the XXth Century. A high spot indeed. (Donleavy's own literary adventures are themselves quite fascinating.) This is the First American Edition (stated First Printing), "Revised" from the issues by Olympia Press and Neville Spearman, but not yet the text Donleavy wanted. Very close to a Fine copy - the red topstain is a bit faded, but the text is clean and fresh and the black cloth binding is unmarked by any defect. Blindstamped front cover, with gilt lettering on the spine. The famous red dustjacket was designed by Alfred Manso, and is Very Good, showing some edgewear with wrinkling and tiny chipping at the margins. The spine has faded to something close to pink. In an archival plastic protector.
