About This Item

Constable, London, 1941. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). 8vo. [x], 356pp + [ii] publisher's advertisements. Original publisher's cloth, with very slightly faded red lettering to the spine. The backstrip cloth very lightly toned, and with just a trace of further uneven toning and marking to the cloth at the upper and lower boards. A tiny sliver of loss to the fore edge of the first text leaf. Very good indeed. No dust wrapper. The author's most uncommon and highly celebrated novel of alcohol and schizophrenia in pre-WWII London..

Synopsis

Hangover Square is a 1941 novel by English playwright and novelist Patrick Hamilton (1904–1962). Subtitled A tale of Darkest Earl's Court it is set in that area of London in 1939. A black comedy, it is often cited as Hamilton's finest novel, exemplifying the author's concerns over social inequalities, the rise of Fascism and the hovering doom of World War II.
