In Man Overboard, Tim Binding tells the story of the man in that godless sanatorium, English war hero Commander Crabb, who disappeared in 1956 amid rumours of his capture by the USSR. Deeply imaginative and gently funny, this novel is a profoundly stirring exploration of Englishness and proves once more that Binding is perhaps our finest chronicler of twentieth-century Britain. Published by Picador with full number line. First edition, first impression.
Tiny bit of wear at the edges of jacket (clipped). Pages a little sunned. Else clean and tidy in very good condition.
