GRAY, Alasdair. 1982 Janine. London: Jonathan Cape. 1984. 8vo. First edition, first printing. Publisher’s black cloth elaborately decorated in gilt to spine, customarily designed by the author, who also designed the dust jacket. A very good copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square, a few light spots to textblock edges else clean. The dust jacket price-clipped with publisher’s price sticker to front flap. Gently bumped and rubbed, but a bright copy.
Perhaps Gray’s oddest novel—self-described ‘sadomasochistic fetishistic fantasy’ inside the head of an ageing, divorced, alcoholic, insomniac supervisor of security installations’.
