About This Item
Toronto: Macmillan of Canada, 1988. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. SIGNED by author to title page. Full blue leatherette. 378 pp. Fine. Dust jacket is age toned to rear cover and flaps. A Casual Brutality takes the reader into a world of terrifying synonyms: illusion has become destruction; decency has become helplessness; nationhood has become tribalism; and a violent future looks only toward a brutal past. In such a world, what or to whom does a man owe his loyalty? This first novel by Neil Bissoondath, who burst onto the international literary scene with his dazzling collection of short stories, Digging Up the Mountains in 1985, shows its author to be worthy of all the accolades he received.
