First Edition
hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. New York. 1987. March 1987. Viking Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0670813680. 136 pages. hardcover. Cover: Robert Silverman. FROM THE PUBLISHER - AN UNFINISHED JOURNEY is a posthumous collection of essays by Shiva Naipaul, published by Hamish and Hamilton in 1986. The foreword is written by the author's father-in-law, Douglas Stuart, who creates a short biographical sketch of the author, describing Shiva as a writer who gained in discipline but was painfully slow, even at times spending an entire afternoon trying to finish a sentence. He also asked Naipaul why he had lost the comic tone in his writing, and wrote that Naipaul attributed it to the arresting horror of witnessing the aftermath of the Jonestown Massacre, part of his research for the book BLACK & WHITE. The essays in the collection are in part autobiographical, such as those on Shiva's relationship with his brother V. S. Naipaul, and his experiences in Australia and other countries. The titular essay is the beginning of an unfinished (due to death) travel book about South East Asia. Also included is an essay called The Illusion of the Third World originally commissioned by Channel 4 Television. inventory #7910.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Robert Silverman - Cover Design (illustrator). 1st Edition. First US edition, first printing. A fine book in a fine dustjacket - there is, possibly, a thin (1/2 cm.) strip of fading to the far edge of the rear panel next to the red spine, pale pink to white, but I am not sure, never having seen a copy without this. Otherwise, the jacket is completely unfaded, bright, crisp and 'as new'. A review copy, with the publisher's advance publicity letter, review slip and black and white author photo (by Jerry Bauer) laid in - uncommon as such. All the review materials are 'as new'. The author's final book, published posthumously.
