Murray,Paul — The Mark and the Void (SIGNED COPY)

Hamish Hamilton This is a Fine Copy of the two books in card slip-case.This copy has not been read so is as good as it gets in terms of condition.The Mark book has been by Paul Murray on the Title Page.The Mark and the Void is Paul Murray's rather wacky new novel of institutional folly, following the success of his wildly original breakout hit, Skippy Dies. While marooned at his banking job in the bewilderingly damp and insular realm known as Ireland, Claude Martingale is approached by a down-on-his-luck author, Paul, looking for his next great subject. Claude finds that his life gets steadily more exciting under Paul's fictionalizing influence; he even falls in love with a beautiful waitress. But Paul's plan is not what it seems-and neither is Claude's employer, the Bank of Torabundo, which inflates through dodgy takeovers and derivatives-trading until-well, you can probably guess how that shakes out. Tomas Gonzalez on the Title Page.We have recently acquired a large and wonderful collection of approx 1000 Signed Modern Firsts,all in 'As New' Condition and unread.This is a superb copy for the collector with crisp white page edges.8vo First UK Edition 1st Impression [2015] Fine No Jacket First Edition 1st Printing London 8vo
