2010Best.-Nr. 71344London: Picador 2010. First U.K. edition first printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 142 pp. Octavo 20.5 cm. Publisher's black paper-covered boards with gilt-stamped titles on the spine. Black endpapers. In the original illustrated dust jacket designed by David Pearson with the "£9.99" price intact. A nice bright clean copy. From the library of the late Santa Fe bookseller Nicholas Potter. Throughout a friendship spanning forty years Potter’s bookstore served as a frequent destination for McCarthy; the two shared a rapport rooted in a mutual appreciation of literature art music and history. While this copy is neither signed nor marked it originates from Potter's collection. McCarthy who famously avoided public life inscribed most of his published works to Potter. Set in a sparse New York apartment the work is a claustrophobic dialogue sparked by a thwarted suicide. With McCarthy’s prose stripped to its essential core the play pits existential despair against faith in a high-stakes dialectic for the soul. Picador hardcover
