Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Wrappers. Spine slightly faded. Reprint of the "Revised Definitive Edition" of 1974 (novel first published as Jazz and Jasper, 1928); from the library of Sir Michael Holroyd. "If Doom is Gerhardie's maddest novel," writes Holroyd, "this was partly due to the element of comic fantasy that he had by now successfully introduced into his relationship with Beaverbrook [who, much taken with The Polyglots, had become a friend and patron - and, as Lord Ottercove, was the principal character in Gerhardie's new novel] . . . Evelyn Waugh, whose favourite Gerhardie novel it always remained, compared the writing to that of Ivy Compton Burnett, and elsewhere critics likened it to, among others, Beerbohm, Giraudoux, Huxley and 'the cool irresponsible dexterity of Paul Morand ' Re-reading it to-day, Doom seems like nothing else in the language, and the best contemporary critic was probably Arnold Bennett who wrote of its 'wild and brilliant originality'.".
