Gray, Alasdair Poor Things: Episodes from the Early Life of Archibald McCandless M.D. Scottish Public Health Officer
Harcourt 1992 0151730768 / 9780151730766 First U.S. Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine
Near-fine condition. Stated First United States Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $21.95. NO writing or tears inside book. 319 pages. Illustrated. Tight spine, bright pages. Bottom-back board corner shows light bumping and light rubbing. Last few pages in back of book also show light bumping. If not for this, I would have rated this book as Fine Condition. Dustcover shows slight wear (NO tears). Synopsis With its tantalizing reminders of Mary Shelley, Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Lewis Carroll, this is an up-todate nineteenth-century novel, informed by a thoroughly twentieth-century sensibility. Set in and around Glasgow and the Mediterranean in the early 1880s, it describes the love lives of two Scottish doctors and a twenty-five-year-old woman who has been created by one of them from human remains. A story of true love and scientific daring, it whirls the reader from the private operating rooms of late-Victorian Glasgow through aristocratic casinos, low-life Alexandria, and a Parisian bordello, reaching an interrupted climax in a Scottish church. It contains many unsanctified weddings, but hardly any perversions, and, as the Spectator put it, "an unexpected final twist doesn't make the novel seem trivial but, on the contrary, gives the vivid melodrama a retrospective gravity. You become aware that this odd book has been a great deal more than entertaining only on finishing it. Then your strongest desire is to start reading it again."
