Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 275 pages. Text foxedFirst published under the title Jazz and Jasper in 1928, Doom was praised by Arnold Bennett for its 'wild and brilliant originality' and is remembered as William Gerhardi e's wittiest and strangest novel. It is the story of Frank Dickin , an impoverished young novelist, and his involvement with an ecc entric family of Russian emigres - in particular, their beautiful daughter Eva - and with an all-powerful newspaper magnate, Lord Ottercove (based on Gerhardie's friend Lord Beaverbrook), who tak es Dickin on as a lost cause. This irrepressible comic mixture al so involves a mad English lord who is bent on destroying the worl d - and, with an outrageous sleight of hand that only Gerhardie c ould manage, the novel slowly slips from social comedy toward apo calypse. 'A master of the ridiculous . Doom seems like nothing else in the language.' Michael Holroyd 'I have talent, but he has genius.' Evelyn Waugh 'He is a comic writer of genius . but hi s art is profoundly serious.' C. P. Snow.
