This work was written by South African born author J. M. Coetzee. Coetzee is a highly decorated author and won the Nobel Prize in literature in 2003 and won the Booker Prize twice. This work is Coetzee's debut novel and contains two separate stories, one that follows 'Eugene Dawn' who is responsible for psychological warfare in the Vietnam War as he descents into madness and the other depicting a hunting expedition in South Africa.

Internally firmly bound with clean and bright pages. The odd very minor mark to the fore edge.
