BRUNNER, John. The Long Result
BRUNNER, John. The Long Result. London: Faber and Faber. 1965. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s navy cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket, uncredited. A very nice example, the cloth a trifle bumped with very light abrasion to front board top corner, the binding tight and square. Abrasion to the front endpaper corner, else fine. The dust jacket unclipped (18s net) and complete, a little rubbed to the corners and spine head and tail, with a few very mild marks.
Brunner’s middle-career novel—he published his first novel at the mere age of 17. This one “more conventionally plotted as a detective/political thriller set on a near-Utopian future Earth on the cusp of being outstripped by a more rapidly developing colony world, posits that racial prejudice, now eliminated from human culture, will resurge as irrational hatred (by a few) of even benign Aliens.” [sf-encyclopedia]. Brunner was somewhat shunned by publishers and many new wave British SF writers for his usual focus on US plot devices and settings, though he was purportedly very difficult to work with. Uncommon.
