ANONYMOUS [Jonathan Gash]. Streetwalker. London: The Bodley Head. 1959. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the salmon dust jacket. A sharp copy. The board corners and foot gently bumped, the binding tight and slightly rolled. Mild stains to textblock top edge, a few mild marks within else fine. The dust jacket unclipped (12s 6d net), complete, the spine slightly toned and corners gently rubbed.
An anonymous diary from, purportedly, a West End female prostitute over the course of about a year, as she navigates the mundanity of her existence, isolation, loneliness, and later a violent pimp. Endorsed by John Wolfenden to the front panel. Though widely believed to have been written by the creator of Lovejoy, Jonathan Gash, the truth remains pleasingly unclear.
