Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. With an introduction by novelist Jon McGregor. The novel describes, in the first-person, a three-week voyage aboard a deep-sea fishing trawler in the Barents Sea, not unlike the one Johnson undertook in preparation to write the book. Isolating himself from the world he knows, as well as from the ships crew, the narrator reflects on past events and relationships, hoping for some kind of redemption. This convincingly authentic and harrowing attempt to get to the heart of the human condition is one of Johnsons finest novels. In his heyday, during the 1960s and early 1970s, B S Johnson was one of the best-known novelists in Britain. A passionate advocate for the avant-garde, he became famous for his forthright views on the future of the novel and for his unique ways of putting them into practice. Convinced that telling stories is telling lies and that he should write about nothing else but what happens to me, Johnson produced Trawl. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

His descriptions of trawling and the sea are convincingly authentic, and his chief character's harrowingly honest memories and reflections add a counterpoint to make a serious statement of the author's attitude towards truth and the human condition.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Bryan Stanley William Johnson (5 Feb 1933 - 13 Nov 1973) was an English experimental novelist, poet and literary critic. He also produced television programmes and made films. Johnson became depressed by his failure to succeed commercially and by mounting family problems. On 13 Nov 1973, aged 40, he took his own life. Johnson's following at the time of his death was small if enthusiastic, but he quickly acquired a posthumous cult following, helped by a critically acclaimed film adaptation in 2000 of the last novel of his to appear in his lifetime, "Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry."'

A signed presentation copy to Julia Trevelyan Oman, celebrated theatrical designer, who was also married to Roy Strong, director of the National Portrait Gallery and the V&A."I. always with I. one starts from. one and I share the same character. are one" begins this scarce edition of B.S. Johnsons beautiful third novel. Relayed in the first person, as if an internal monologue, the story revolves around the events of a three week voyage on a deep sea fishing trawler, yet is also a narrative which simultaneously attempts to reach the very heart of the human condition. Rather than a seasoned man of the ocean, the narrator suffers severely from debilitating sea-sickness and thus takes meandering journeys into past reflection towards his own version of resolution.
