CP1010 Holt, Rinehart and Winston New York, NY, U.S.A. 1983 First American Edition Dust Jacket Very Good Hard Cover Very Good Black paper on boards. Volume has minor wear. Jacket is lightly rubbed. Now in clear cover. "This novel is vintage Powell: wry, subtle, and ironic, told with all the wicked twists, cunning parries, and clever wordplay for which he is so justly celebrated. O, How the Wheel becomes it! introduces G.F.H. Shadbolt, lifelong poseur and literary manque - a character who could well have stepped out of the pages of Dance. It is a witty tale of a minor talent whose major skill is self-promotion, and how through his own scheming, he is brought low. It is also a biting but very funny portrait of the men - academics, critics, media personalities - whose judgments shape modern tastes and opinions." $20.00USD
