London: Jonathan Cape, 2003. First printing. Fine in a near fine jacket.. True first edition of acclaimed mystery, the story of an autistic boy who uncovers uncomfortable family secrets when he sets out to solve the murder of the neighbor's dog - inscribed by Haddon to the daughter of his agent, Gillon Aitken. This mystery was longlisted for the Booker Prize and received a number of other major awards and critical nods; in 2012 it was adapted for the stage. The book has received criticism for reliance on stereotypes of autistic people to construct the main character of Christopher; in later editions, the jacket copy no longer describes Christopher as autistic, though the term is explicitly used in this first edition. Sherlock Holmes fans will recognize the book's title as a quote from the famous detective in "The Adventure of Silver Blaze," in which Holmes focuses on a key piece of evidence during his investigate: "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time." A beautiful copy of this modern… Leer más
