SIGNED by the author, and uncommon thus. Inexplicably hard to find in the 1st printing. Fine in thin card covers as issued.

About this product

Product Information

A jewel of a book- a brand new short story from the author of Atonement. My Purple Scented Novel follows the perfect crime of literary betrayal, scrupulously wrought yet unscrupulously executed, published to celebrate Ian McEwan's 70th birthday. My Purple Scented Novel follows the perfect crime of literary betrayal, scrupulously wrought yet unscrupulously executed. 'You will have heard of my friend the once celebrated novelist Jocelyn Tarbet, but I suspect his memory is beginning to fade.You'd never heard of me, the once obscure novelist Parker Sparrow, until my name was publicly connected with his. To a knowing few, our names remain rigidly attached, like the two ends of a seesaw. His rise coincided with, though did not cause, my decline. I don't deny there was wrongdoing. I stole a life, and I don't intend to give it back. You may treat these few pages as a confession.'

  • More of a leaflet than a book. Disappointing story, bad value. Shame, as it lets down a usually good writer

  • Good but exceedingly short!

    The shortest book I have ever read.
