About This Item
New York: Soho Press, Inc., 1991. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. The debut novel for the multi-talented Fry, who is a writer, humorist, actor, producer, director and also a exceptionally funny guy. Here is what "Literary Review" said about this first novel: "The Liar is hilarious -- page after page of the most outrageous and often filthy jokes, delicious conceits, instant, brilliant ripostes that would only occur to ordinary mortals after days of teeth-grinding lunacy." Enough said. This copy's boards show only a touch of edgewear, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a bit of surface and edge wear at the corners and spine ends but no tears, no chipping, not price-clipped. Collectable.
