Eoin McNamee THE LAST OF DEEDS First Edition Signed

First edition first print hardback of THE LAST OF DEEDS by Eoin McNamee. Published by Raven Arts Press in 1989. Signed by McNamee on the title page. The author's first book, with a reported run of 350 copies.

The book is in fine condition (black cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a fine unclipped dust jacket which is in a removable protective sleeve and also has no wear to speak of. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.

Eoin McNamee's novels include Resurrection Man, later made into a film, The Blue Tango, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize, and Orchid Blue, described by John Burnside in the Guardian as 'not only a political novel of the highest order but also that rare phenomenon, a genuinely tragic work of art.'

Chilling and lyrical evocation of the underbelly of life in a Northern Ireland coastal town, seen through the laconic, distanced eyes of a young drifter. The book combines moments of poetic beauty with incidents of intense violence...

THE LAST OF DEEDS is a powerful and original novella. Its haunting realism combined with the dreamlike quality of the other stories in this volume constitutes one of the most striking debuts in modern Irish fiction.

96 pages.
