Boards. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Previous owners name and address to inside cover. In a bare flat in a city tower block, a young man is engaged in a struggle for survival. The victim of a particularly vicious mugging, he is in the grip of fear - a fear with a smell and a presence. Violence seems to stalk him, waiting to happen, places must be avoided and people kept at a distance; even certain words are unsayable. He is forced into bizarre deceptions and desperate stratagems to conceal his vulnerability, until finally - after the reader has been drawn inexorably into a world distorted by imagination - he reaches a form of resolution. A terrifying portrayal of urban paranoia, utterly original and often very funny. The Automatic Man is an astonishing debut.
