About This Item
London : Jonathan Cape, 1991. First Edition. Hardback. Fine cloth copy in a near-fine, very slightly edge-dulled dust wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong.; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 276 pages; 276p ; 23cm. Summary: The Elephant is Bradford, and 'a dream of a department store at the top of a hill so vertiginously steep it seems the whole building must break loose and roll down at any moment'. It is a man in the death business, and it is also his son, a self-confessed fantasist and liar who is named after a cricket field. It is about George Gershwin and The Beatles and a bonfire on the beach. Genre: Fiction -- Novel.
