EN HC US FEISBN: 9780860360469 bzw. 0860360466, in Englisch, Rex Collings, London, gebundenes Buch, gebraucht, Erstausgabe, mit Einband.
Von Händler/Antiquariat, Alanjo Books [5341014], High Wycombe, BUCKS, United Kingdom.
Light wear to jacket edges, red stamp on first blank page, light foxing to page edges, internally clean, binding very good. Sam Haskins' evocative photograph on the jacket catches beautifully the spirit of Stephen Gray's novel 'Visible People'. To a tropical island lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, where the lushness and opulence of natural beauty is matched by that of its people, comes a special plane load from South Africa of the beautiful people, the visible people, for the grand opening of a new luxury hotel - pimps, photographers, poets, professors, p.r.os and pros home in like vultures on a fresh kill to sample the free delights. But the torpid amours and gentle debauchery are shattered by a cyclone which rips the peace apart and leaves them naked and frightened. Stephen Gray has with a marvellous felicity caught the brittle and shallow talk that so often distinguishes the visible people, but he is also able to show the insecurity and pathos that lies under the suntan oil and the face pack. Beautifully written, veyr funny with the sharp cutting edge of a satirical wit never far away, Stephen Gray has produced an enjoyable and delicious novel. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
