London: Faber, Date: 2003, 2003 This is Pierre's revolutionary first novel and it is a multiple winner. First it received a Guardian book award and and then the Booker Prize. This copy is the elusive British world first edition, first impression, hardback. The Faber hardback was printed in a very small edition. This copy is perfect, as new and unread. Unclipped and protected jacket. The true World First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other editions. Published to great acclaim, including The New Yorker, where it was compared to "Catcher In The Rye". The basis for the comparison is primarily the eponymous character, who, like Holden Caulfield, is a frustrated teenager. If Vernon sounds too intelligent and aware for his age, Joyce Carol Oates quickly points out that the novel's greatest strength is the author's "flawless ear for adolescent-boy speech. To his young narrator, virtually every adjective is 'f-----' and every vision of every adult is laced with repugnance, especially those adults in authority. Vernon is a Holden Caulfield on amphetamines. 'Vernon God Little' is raucous and brooding, coarse and lyrical, corrosive and sentimental in about equal measure and in the right way" (Joyce Carol Oates). DBC Pierre is the pseudonym of Peter Warren Finlay, born in Australia, raised in the US and Mexico. He now divides his time in London, Sydney, and Dublin. DBC stands for "Dirty But Clean". When ...
