Condizione: Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. 165 pages. Cast as an accidentally discovered memoir written by a nameless young woman, the Spanish dramatist's newly translated work is more fable and parable than conventional novel. Its 18-year-old narrator/heroine, a kind of beautiful, seductive queen bee, shares a crumbling mansion with her aged father, the "Maimed One," and two women called "The Sisters." She has two principal activities: one is speculation on hierarchies in nature and societya persistent inquiry into the relation of human and insect behavior; the other is the dexterous use of a barber's straight razor, slashing the throats of casual acquaintances just as they reach the throes of sexual rapture. Her few friendsan adoring suma wrestler, a painter with bizarre tastesreveal their own oddities. To pass the time, they plan an orgy featuring paranoics, "depraved couples," sado-masochists and even the notorious Marquis de Sade. The reader never doubts that the speaking voice and questioning mind belong not to the beguiling and terrifying girl but to Arrabal himself. Clean copy. Record # 378606.…

Light spotting on page edges, near fine in a fine dust jacket. "*The Compass Stone* is in the form of a memoir by an unnamed chronicler, a twenty-year-old woman who lives in the greenhouse of a mansion occupied by her cripped father, the Maimed One, and his two grotesque handmaidens, the Sisters. The high walls surrounding the mansion enclose a world unique to Arrabal's imagination, a Boschian allegory world in which guilt, sadism, bondage, and murder all fit together to form a surprisingly coherent universe . The strange strands of her narrative are linked by incantatory strings of questions about love and hate, good and evil, damnation and redemption, in a surreal Socratic interrogation of life and its meaning" (from the front flap).…
