hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Very Good in Dustjacket. 0395253993. 209 pages. hardcover. Cover: Paul Bacon. keywords: American Literature. DESCRIPTION - Post-colonial Malaysia is Theroux territory, charted fictionally in SAINT JACK and brilliantly revisited in his best-selling travel book, THE GREAT RAILWAY BAZAAR. THE CONSUL'S FILE is a journey with a young American diplomat to a 'bachelor post' at the uneasy frontier where civilization meets jungle. The Consul records his stint in Ayer Hitam through a sequence of tales in which he is both observer and participant. As his intimacy with the town grows, so does his motley cast of Asians and exiles: the son of a Cantonese cafe owner, dreaming of a Fulbright one day and a movie contract the next; Margaret Harbottle, writer of travelogues and freeloader extraordinary; an American ingenue dubbed 'The Flower of Malaysia,' who flirts with local mores and gets more than she bargained for. Orphans of empire, the English and Americans find refuge in their down-at-the-heels club - the scene of an epic tennis match between a Malay prodigy and a despised Japanese salesman - and diversion on the sexual battlefield. A dependent wife goes on permanent liberty in Bali. A woman anthropologist woos, and subdues, an aborigine chief. And the Consul, on a Singapore rendezvous with a former lover, finds diplomatic relations fatal to passion. The supernatural flourishes like exotic flora in Ayer Hitam, and its ghostly influence pervades many of the Consul's tales. From the comic to the bizarre, they build into a sensual evocation of place and character. This is a master storyteller writing at the height of his formidable power. inventory #18556.…
