ISBN10: 0333412850, ISBN13: 9780333412855, [publisher: Macmillan] Hardcover The man who wakes up in the extraordinary world of a bridge has amnesia, and his doctor doesn't seem to want to cure him. Does it matter? Exploring the bridge occupies most of his days. But at night there are his dreams. Dreams in which desperate men drive sealed carriages across barren mountains to a bizarre rendezvous; an illiterate barbarian storms an enchanted tower under a stream of verbal abuse; and broken men walk forever over bridges without end, taunted by visions of a doomed sexuality.Lying in bed unconscious after an accident wouldn't be much fun, you'd think. Oh yes? It depends who and what you've left behind.Which is the stranger reality, day or night? Frequently hilarious and consistently disturbing, THE BRIDGE is a novel of outrageous contrasts, constructed chaos and elegant absurdities. [Auckland, AUCKL, New Zealand] [Publication Year: 1986]

ISBN10: 0333412850, ISBN13: 9780333412855, [publisher: Macmillan] Hardcover First Edition A UK 1st Edition 1st Printing hardback copy indicated on the copyright page with no further printings mentioned. - The book is in good condition, but does have some marks to the top and bottom of the boards where it appears tape has been used to secure the jacket to the book itself. There are also line marks to the pastedowns and end papers, which may be old tape marks. There are, however, absolutely no library stamps or markings. The book also has a light push to the top and bottom of the spine and sunning to the page block. No writing internally- good overall. - The dust jacket is in very good condition but has been price clipped. Ruffling to the top and bottom, with foxing to the inside flaps and underside of the jacket. A nick to the bottom of the front where it meets the front flap, with the same where the top of the reverse meets the reverse flap. Interestingly, there appears to be no fading to the red authors name on the spine cover. Light surface scratching- otherwise very good. [Oxford, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 1986]
