Boston: Gambit, 1970. First US Edition. . Hardback. Good/Good. First US edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 21.5 × 14.5cm, 247pp. The author's first novel. From the dustwrapper, "David Plante's first novel explores the relationship between four brothers and a sister: young, cultivated, moderately well-to-do, and haunted by their individual failures to come to grips with the 'outside' world. Drifting between Boston, London, New York and Rome, between abortive love affairs and half-spent passions, they are never quite able to banish the terrible sense of illusion that pervades their lives - except perhaps when they are in their own company. When one of the brothers suddenly dies, his death creates a strangely alluring void, into which they seem to be inexorably drawn." Condition: Good condition. The book is in sound shape, with some marginal tanning. The dustwrapper is a little creased to the edges and scuffed to the base of the spine but is now within a protective sleeve.
