Book Description: Farrar Straus Giroux, New York, 1991. Hard Cover. Book Condition: Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Design by Chip Kidd (illustrator). First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First printing of Farrar Straus hardcover edition. First novel by author of 'Netherland'. viii, 216pp. Gray quarter-cloth, putty paper boards, silver gilt spine lettering. Dust jacket price 18.95. Signed by O'Neill to title page. Book and dust jacket are in as new, unread condition. "In this, O'Neill's first novel, we meet the rather introspective James Jones. Jones, who is not resigned to his present circumstances, is preoccupied with the life and career of illustrious barrister Michael Donovan. Early in his career, Jones had been one of Donovan's pupils. Crushed by Donovan's failure to help secure him a place as a junior barrister, he has had to work as a mere solicitor in an unprepossessing firm. When Donovan calls upon Jones to help him with his upcoming divorce, the former pupil is thrilled. However, Jones's involvement with Donovan during this year of the divorce proceedings just about ruins his career. Finally, he comes to realize that Donovan's fast-paced life is really not as wonderful as it seemed, and he sees his own life with its limitations in a better light. One hopes that this is only the first of many enjoyable works of a promising young author." - Patricia C. Heaney, Library Journal. "Jones, the narrator and protagonist of this remarkably polished debut novel, is a solitary solicitor, an "almost transparent" fellow who cannot understand his own failure to distinguish himself. He is obsessed with one Michael Donovan, a worldly, successful barrister who seems to be and to have everything Jones is not and hasn't got. His year of clerking for Donovan was inexplicably fruitless, but now, three years later, Jones embarks on a painful odyssey of self-discovery because Donovan has "dug up my old future" by reappearing in his life. Vivid and well-chosen language draws the reader into the tortures and doubts of the narrator as he wrestles with his desperation and struggles to locate himself in the world he craves. Jones's account, in terms of its plot and O'Neill's delicate treatment of its themes, recalls H. F. Saint's 'Invisible Man'. O'Neill is a 25-year-old Irishman, a poet and barrister practicing in London; his is a first-rate first effort." - Publishers Weekly. Signed by Author. Bookseller Inventory # 015903
