Sobre este item
London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, (1971). First edition. Signed and dated (1991) by Brian Aldiss on the title-page. The second Horatio Stubbs novel - the unforgettable Forgotten Army in India and Burma - a wildly funny but wholly serious attempt by Aldiss "to recreate it exactly as it was, whether heroic, bawdy or downright bloody unspeakable". The book's publication in January 1971 led to a newspaper spat between the bookseller turned author and Mark Kahn, reviewer for the "Sunday Mirror" - "Chuck It, Mr Aldiss", began the review - "I'm sorry that Mr Kahn (last Sunday) found my new novel ... tedious and nasty. War often is tedious and nasty", came the lofty response, but it is noticeable that only one further Horatio Stubbs novel appeared, not the four that Aldiss originally intended. Post 8vo (21cm). 272pp. Original green boards, lettered in gilt; just a touch bruised; a few faint edge-spots; mild discolouration to pastedowns beneath the jacket flaps (evidently a manufacturing fault in the adhesive), but otherwise a very good copy in the Lou Klein dust-jacket - the jacket also very good, clean, whole and unfaded, with just some very minor edge-wear to the foot of the rear panel and some slight creasing to the foot of the front flap.
