    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    The first UK edition, first impression.

    In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.

    This was Mailer's second published novel, and concerns a protagonist who rents a room in a Brooklyn boarding house with the intention of writing a novel. 

    Wounded during World War II, he is an amnesiac, and much of his past is a secret to him.

    Mailer's 1968 work 'The Armies of the Night' won the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction as well as the National Book Award.
