DE BERNIÈRES, Louis. The Latin American Trilogy, comprising The War of Don Emmanuel’s Nether Parts (1990), Señor Vivo & The Coca Lord (1991) and The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman (1992). London: Secker and Warburg. 8vos. First editions, first printings, the final volume inscribed by the author to the title page, and dated 1993. Three-volume set. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in white to the spine of the first volume, and in gilt to the spines of the second and third, in the dust jackets. A near fine set overall, the cloth clean, bright and sharp. The bindings all tight and square. The textblocks lightly and evenly toned throughout, from the paper quality most likely, with a handful of light and unobtrusive spots across the set. Without inscriptions or stamps. The dust jackets each unclipped, complete, very gently crimped to spine tips, but a very presentable set overall.
The author’s much-acclaimed Latin American trilogy, so-called, and based on his own experiences while working as a teacher in Colombia. During this period of working his career out, he became interested in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s magical realism and has consistently acknowledged this influence on the trilogy. Uncommon signed.
