INHERENT VICE

First UK edition, first printing. Original black cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dustwrapper designed by Darshan Zenith. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. Complete with the fine dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£18.99 to the front flap). A sharp, attractive copy of Pynchon's seventh novel.

"Part noir, part psychedelic romp, all Thomas Pynchon – private eye Doc Sportello comes, occasionally, out of a marijuana haze to watch the end of an era as free love slips away and paranoia creeps in with the L.A. fog" (from the jacket). 'Inherent Vice' was adapted for the 2014 film of the same name, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, with a cast including Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, and Benicio del Toro.
