NZ Literature | Secondhand

One of Sargeson’s later fiction, a comic epistolary novella plots the life of a young school-teacher trying to escape the intellectual domination of his powerful and potent father.

"There have been breakthroughs in the development of English fiction and there have been changes in its direction. But there has been nothing comparable to Sargeon's achievement in his own country."

First edition. Very good condition, some minor brownish markings and the previous owner's name on the endpapers.
