Description

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CANDIA MCWILLIAM

The Black Prince
is both a remarkable thriller and a story about being in love.

Bradley Pearson, narrator and hero, is an elderly writer with a ‘block’. Finding himself surrounded by predatory friends and relations – his ex-wife, her delinquent brother, a younger, deplorably successful writer, Arnold Baffin, Baffin’s restless wife and engaging daughter – Bradley attempts to escape. His failure to do so and its aftermath lead to a violent climax and a most unexpected conclusion.
