Item description
THE GIANT O'BRIEN
By Hilary Mantel
New York: Henry Holt and Company, (1998).
First U.S. edition, first printing.
SIGNED by the author to the title-page.
Fine in a fine dust jacket.
Jacket by Honi Werner.
"London, 1782: center of science and commerce, home to the newly rich and
the desperately poor. Among whom is the Giant, O'Brien, a freak of
nature, a man of song and story who trusts in the old myths. He has come
from Ireland to exhibit his size for money. He has, he soon finds, come
to die. His opposite is a man of science, the famed anatomist John
Hunter. Hunter lusts after the Giant's corpse, a medical curiosity, a
boon to the advancement of scientific knowledge. In her acclaimed novel,
Hilary Mantel tells of the fated convergence of two worlds: Ireland and
England, poetry and science. As belief wrestles knowledge, so the novel
calls from a fork in the road. It is a tale of its time, a timeless
tale."--Fantastic Fiction.
"Mantel's novel is in one sense a brilliant pastiche of Swift and
Joyce [but] it becomes her own style, as acute and arresting as is her
vision of history." (John Bayley, The New York Review of Books).
