Zustand: FINE. First US printing. Hav is like no place on earth - because of course, it isn't. Originally published as if it were a genuine travel book - but in reality, a delightful fiction short-listed for the Booker. "After reading 'Last Letters from Hav', what travel writer would ever want to report from an actual place? . . . a vigorous literary hybrid; elegant fiction in its own right but also a respectfully witty homage to indomitable English travel writers like Lawrence, Burton and Blanch." (Elaine Kendall, LA Times) Illustrated with a double page map. 203 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket.
