MCELROY, Joseph. A Smuggler’s Bible (inscribed)
MCELROY, Joseph. A Smuggler’s Bible. New York: Harcourt, Brace and World. 1966. First edition. An association copy inscribed to McElroy’s only daughter, Hanna, and presumably her partner, Harry. McElroy’s first novel concerning the human spirit. A postmodernist heavyweight, he was influenced by the likes of Thomas Pynchon and William Gaddis, himself an influence on David Foster Wallace and Don DeLillo. A very good book with some light rubbing to the board edges and one or two light marks to the fore-edge, else fine. The dust jacket price-clipped and, as usual, a little beaten; the spine panel faded, several chips, tears, creases along most edges, slit to centre of rear panel, but certainly a respectable copy given the association.
