About This Item
Winner of the Somerset Maugham Prize in 1968, Several Perceptions is Angela Carter's third novel. Set in the Vietnam era, the insular urban vignettes focus on 22-year-old unemployed Joseph. Several Perceptions is notable for its Alice in Wonderland references, and the surreal book cover image reflects the collage-like nature of the novel.
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1968. First US edition. Hardback, in dust jacket. 21 x 14 x 2. 153 pages. Octavo. Publisher's brown cloth lettered gilt at front and spine. Dust jacket slightly water-stained at rear, slightly grubby. Very good book in very good dust jacket.
