Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. First U.S. Edition, 1st printing. Shortlisted for the 2012 Man Booker Prize. Bright, clean & tight hardcover, unread, in NEW condition. Sold along w/gratis advance reading copy of SHARK in uncorrected proof. "Radical and unabashedly literary, UMBRELLA is a tour de force from one of England's most acclaimed contemporary writers. Moving between Edwardian London and a suburban mental hospital in 1971, UMBRELLA weaves together a dense tapestry of consciousness and life as refracted through the dark glass of a long term mental institution. While making his first tours of the hospital at which he has just been working, maverick psychiatrist Zachary Busner notes that many of the patients exhibit a strange physical tic: rapid, precise movements that they repeat over and over. One of these patients is Audrey Death, an elderly woman born in the slums of West London in 1890. Audrey's memories of a bygone Edwardian London, her former lovers, her involvement with early feminist and socialist movements, and her time working at an umbrella manufacturer, alternate with Busner's attempts to treat her condition and bring light to her clouded world. But what is the cause of Audrey's strange condition--and could it have something to do with her two brothers, Albert, who pursued a successful career in the civil service, and Stanley, who died in the trenches of World War I?" [jacket copy] "A brother is as easily forgotten as an umbrella."--James Joyce. "In these culturally straitened times few writers would have the artistic effrontery to offer us a novel as daring, exuberant, and richly dense as UMBRELLA. Will Self has carried the modernist challenge into the twenty-first century, and worked a wonder."--John Banville. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, wrapped in a perfect jacket. + Uncorrected proof in paperback of SHARK from 2014, "a mind-bending novel of the intersection of pathology and war, set in the 1970s but pivoting around the dropping of 'Little Boy' on Hiroshima. [] Loosely following on from Umbrella, SHARK continues Self's exploration of the complex relationship between human psychopathology and technological progress, and, like Umbrella, weaves together multiple narratives across several decades of the twentieth century to produce a fiendish tapestry depicting the state we're trapped in." Pristine, unread paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, all quite presentable.…
