Autobiographical novel in two parts and thirty-seven chapters with translator's note and author's note. 8vo. 8 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches. 12 oz. x, 166 pp. Inch-long scratch or tear in back of dust jacket. Slight discoloration to top edge of boards. Smudge and sticker residue on front flyleaf. Text clean. Very Good Plus in Very Good jacket. ISBN: 0879237562.

As the reader soon discovers, W is a place where 'it is more important to be lucky than to be deserving,' and 'you have to fight to live. No recourse, no mercy, no salvation, not even any hope that time will sort things out.'
