DBC Pierre VERNON GOD LITTLE First Edition Signed

First UK edition, first print hardback of VERNON GOD LITTLE (a 21st Century Comedy in the Presence of Death) by DBC Pierre (Peter Finlay) and published by Faber and Faber Limited, London in 2003. Signed and dated by DBC Pierre on the title page. Full numberline 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 on the copyright page. Author's debut novel and winner of the Booker Prize in 2003.

The book is in near fine condition (white boards with black lettering to spine) with no discernible wear to the unclipped dust jacket, which is protected in a removeable archival sleeve. Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no other inscriptions. There is some tanning to page edges.

Fifteen-year-old Vernon Gregory Little is in trouble. And it has something to do with the recent massacre of 16 students at his high school. 

News of the tragedy serves as open invitation to the media and soon the quirky backwater of Martirio is flooded with wannabe CNN hacks all-too-keen to lay claim to their fifteen minutes, and lay the blame for the killings at Vernon's feet. 

Eulalio Ledesma, in particular, sniffs out his opportunity to make good at Vernon's expense and as the media net tightens, and the twisted desires of the townsfolk for a scapegoat reaches fever-pitch, Vernon finds himself drawn into a series of increasingly bizarre circumstances.
