Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Grotesque but brilliant study of Fred West and his even more repulsive wife. Between them they raped, tortured and murdered a still unknown number of people. It cannot avoid being a dreadful tale because of its subject, but it is also this very fine writer's be…st book. This copy has been read, and the pages are tanning because the publisher used poor quality paper, but this copy also has the supreme distinction of being signed on the title page. The stunning wraparound jacket, famously created by Damien Hirst, is protected. 'To Steve, with all best wishes, Gordon Burn' it says, and that makes this a RARE copy of a great book. With great interest newly awakened by the tremendous dramatisation on television, 'Appropriate Adult', with Dominic West and Emily Watson, this signed copy is now much sought after. Gordon Burn examined the contemporary obsession with celebrity in a series of books spanning three decades, including this extraordinary account of Fred and Rosemary West. He also wrote a Whitbread award-wininng novel which imagined an alternative life for the British singer Alma Cogan. His editor, commenting after Gordon Burn's early death, hailed Burn's work as "far ahead of the rest of the literary world", and lamented the loss of "one of the great literary innovators of these times. Gordon's subject of choice was often trauma, spectacle and dysfunction. He was drawn to the dark side of celebrity. His literature and impulse always represented to me an attempt to find comfort, meaning and compassion in the most appalling or baffling of events." A VERY RARE SIGNATURE, and a very brilliant book.
