Dust jacket is in good condition currently enclosed in library clear protective covering. 'The Black Prince is a story about being in love; it is also a study of an artist's inspiration, a love song to Shakespeare, and many other things. It is certainly a very exciting tale. The hero and narrator, Bradly Pearson, is an elderly 'blocked writer' whose best friend Arnold Baffin, a considerably younger man, is a deplorably successful producer of best-sellers. Jealousy, fear, love, hate and misunderstanding bedevil this increasingly complex relationship. Bradley is encompassed by predatory friends and relative; his long-vanished and now very rich ex-wife appears with maddening plans for a heart-warming reconciliation; his delinquent brother-in-law follows, hoping for a windfall or at least some interesting trouble; Arnold's wife nourishes an emotional attachment to him; Arnold's teenage daughter wants him to teach her to be a writer.Bradley cannot stand it any longer; he attempts to run away but finds himself the captive of an ambiguous power beyond his control.And so a very intellectual thriller moves to its violent climax. This is a remarkable novel, compelling both as a story with a marvellously involuted plot and as a meditation on the natureof art, of love, and of the power of human relationships.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
