MCCARTHY, Cormac. Child of God
MCCARTHY, Cormac. Child of God. London: Chatto & Windus. 1975. First British edition. McCarthy’s third novel about an ostracised man and his descent into murder, pillaging, violence, and necrophilia. A devastating novel by the late author, written before the commercial success of his later works. This first British edition notoriously rare, much scarcer than the US first published two years previous, and believed to have had a print run of perhaps just one-thousand. An excellent, sharp copy, the book about fine with some light spots the top edge, in a near fine dust jacket superbly designed by Graham Palfrey-Rogers, unclipped with some minor spots to the inside flaps. Presents fine.
