Sobre este artículo
Paris: The Olympia Press, 1955. Iconic green printed wrappers, with some rubbing and minor creasing to spine, else near fine. Housed in custom cloth clamshell case with leather lettering piece to spine.. First Edition. Duodecimo. First issue of J. P. Donleavy's controversial expat novel, retrospectively described by the author as "celebratory, boisterous and resolutely careless mayhem." With "Special volume / Francs: 1.500" printed to rear cover. Published as Number 7 of the infamous Traveller's Companion Series from the Olympia Press, which Donleavy would ironically come to own in pursuit of his copyright.
Sinopsis
Feckless, unwashed, charming, penurious Sebastian Balfe Dangerfield, Trinity College Law student, Irish American with an English Accent, maroon in the ould country and dreaming of dollars and ready women, stumbles from the public house to the pawnbrokers, murmuring delusive enticements in the ear of any girl who'll listen, in delirious search of freedom, wealth, and the recognition he feels is his due. Lyrical and ribald, illuminating, poignant and hugely entertaining, The Ginger Man is a work of authentic comic genius.
