CARTER, Angela. The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman. London: Rupert Hart-Davis. 1972. 8vo. First edition, first printing. Publisher’s orange cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by Martin Leman. A near fine copy, the cloth clean, gently bumped at spine tips, the binding tight and square, the textblock edges a little spotted, but the contents fine. The dust jacket unclipped and complete, the jacket flaps slightly spotted and stained.
A handsome copy of Angela Carter’s sixth novel, a postmodernist pastiche that draws upon Latin American magical realism, surrealism, and her time spent in Japan.
