Dealer Notes
An extremely scarce, signed first edition of Julian Barnes' detective fiction series featuring the detective and ex-policeman 'Duffy'. Signed by Barnes under his pseudonymous name Dan Kavanagh. This novel was issued the same year as 'Metroland', Barnes' debut novel which was published under his own name. He wrote this work under the pseudonym as it was liberating and allowed him to indulge in 'fantasies of violence' that he could not write under his own name.
This first novel explores the 'seedy underbelly of Soho'. There were four Duffy novels total, 'Duffy', 'Fiddle City', 'Putting the Boot in' and 'Going to the Dogs'.
