A Book of Common Prayer

first edition 272 pp. 1 vols. 8vo

1977 · New York

by Didion, Joan
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1977. First edition. 272 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Black cloth spine, grey boards, spine stamped in gilt and red. Near fine in very good plus dust jacket (some toning on verso). First edition. 272 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Joan Didion's third novel, and fourth book overall, harbors several real-life parallels: it takes place in a fictitious country very similar to El Salvador; is narrated by a woman whose style of commentary is reminiscent of Didion herself; and includes a character that her former boyfriend, political journalist and cultural critic Noel E. Parmentel, Jr., believed was created as a thinly veiled, and unflattering, depiction of him. (Inventory #: 367840)
