DESERTED CITIES OF THE HEART. New York, London, Toronto, Sydney: Doubleday, [1988]. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. "DESERTED CITIES OF THE HEART (1988), set in a magic-realist Mexico, features a complexity of plots, involving imagined time travel back to the age of the Mayas, heated sexual and political intertwinings, and moments of not entirely convinced transcendence; but the style of the tale is shining and faceted, and its various protagonists are vividly realized as they hover closer and closer to a long-predicted Holocaust." - John Clute, SFE (online). The author's second book and best novel. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#91623).
