First Edition of Evelyn Waugh's The Ordeal Of Gilbert Pinford
First edition of what Waugh called his "mad book"—a largely autobiographical account of a period of hallucinations caused by bromide intoxication that he experienced in the early months of 1954, recounted through his protagonist Gilbert Pinfold. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket, name to the front free endpaper. Uncommon in this condition.
In truth, Waugh is extraordinarily brave and frank in revealing this demonic roast that all stemmed from people, events, and personal biases that haunted him.
