Theroux, Paul.
MILLROY THE MAGICIAN.
London, England: Hamish Hamilton, 1993. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 439 pages. Fine/Fine. The author's twentieth work of fiction. The true first. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Although best-known as the preeminent travel writer of his generation, Theroux's talents as a storyteller and novelist are remarkable. His writing has always been brilliant and this novel was praised by his former mentor, the great British author, V. S. Naipaul, as "one of his more bewitching inventions". Many critics regard this as one of Theroux's finest creations, with the two main characters, Millroy and Jill Farina, as among his most unforgettable. This copy is neatly and prominently signed in black pen on the title page by Paul Theroux. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for some time. This copy is in very fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, one of the best such copies we have ever seen. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest living American writers. A fine copy.
