About This Item
"The Ginger Man" by J.P. Donleavy. Published in softback by Olympia Press in 1955. First Edition. 353pp. The book is in Very Good condition for its age. The covers are very clean. The side and lower edge blocks are clean while the top edge block has a foxing-like speckling that does not extend onto any page of text (see scan). The "Francs: 1.500" on the rear is not crossed out, as so often seen. Internally the volume is very clean and looks largely unread. It is inscription and annotation free. The book is now protected by a removable see-through sleeve. A very nice example of this important 20thC novel. Any questions, please just ask.
Synopsis
Feckless, unwashed, charming, penurious Sebastian Balfe Dangerfield, Trinity College Law student, Irish American with an English Accent, maroon in the ould country and dreaming of dollars and ready women, stumbles from the public house to the pawnbrokers, murmuring delusive enticements in the ear of any girl who'll listen, in delirious search of freedom, wealth, and the recognition he feels is his due. Lyrical and ribald, illuminating, poignant and hugely entertaining, The Ginger Man is a work of authentic comic genius.
