About This Item
Penguin, London, 1987. 17th paperback printing. Condition: Good, edge wear, slight bottom corner crease, creasing at spine and slight bowing, price sticker on rear cover.
One of the greatest shaggy-dog stories in English.
No one description will fit this strange, eccentric, endlessly complex masterpiece. It is a fiction about fiction-writing in which the invented world is as much infused with wit and genius as the theme of inventing it. It is a joyful celebration of the infinite possibilities of the art of fiction, and a wry demonstration of its limitations. This Penguin Classic contains Christopher Ricks' introductory essay.
