About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape , 1984. 1st edition. Softcover. Uncorrected proof with launch invitation loosely inserted. Very good paperback copy; edges slightly dust-dulled and nicked. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, and clean. Physical description: 8vo. (20.5 cm). 347p. Summary: This inventive novel takes place over one difficult night in the life of Jock McLeish, security systems engineer: a night which brings him to the brink of suicide. It is an evocative mosaic, mingling the sadistic fantasies that fail to distract Jock from the bitter memories of his own life - poor decisions, casual cruelties, ill-judged liaisons - and his musings on the failings of his beloved Scotland. Subject: Scottish literature: individual authors. Genre: Fiction.
