London: Faber and Faber, 1975. 83 pp. Black cloth with gold lettering on spine. Binding and text block are in fine condition: clean, square and tight throughout. Unclipped, illustrated dust jacket is fine but for light shelf wear. "Wilson Harris's new novel further develops the tabula rasa theme that ran through Black Marsden. During a sojourn in Mexico lasting both days and centuries, a faceless and any-faced narrator records in diary form various encounters and episodes, which shade into elements from the country's past, creating a vivid dream-sequence with the strangely hypnotic power characteristic of Wilson Harris's writing.". First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo.
