One Fat Englishman

AMIS, Kingsley SKU: 19129

London : Victor Gollancz, 1963.

First Edition. Publisher's red cloth with the excellent, price-clipped dust-jacket. Small stain to rear panel and a couple of nicks at head of backstrip. No old inscriptions. A VG+ copy. Comic British masterpiece about the 1950s crashing drunkenly into the consumerist 1960s and a final scion of a disintegrating Old World empire encountering its upstart New World offspring. One of Kingsley Amis's greatest and most caustic offerings.
