Garage orange a5, Penguin. 1982. (ISBN: 9780140060065). Paperback. Like a ghost or a fugitive, Mary roams through London -- pursuing and pursued by memory and forgetting, by the compelling Amy Hide and the charming Mr. Wrong. Martin Amis sustains an unnervingly high degree of suspense as Mary and the reader yearn to grasp what has happened to Mary's past and ponder what its loss has gained her. Unfolding is a metaphysical thriller where jealously-guarded secrets jostle with startling insights. Other People is ambitious and accomplished, heralding for Amis an unexpected new direction as a novelist and for the rest of us an experience not to be missed. 0-14-006006-5.

Other People: A Mystery Story
Penguin 1988 Paperback, 208pp. She wakes in an emergency room in a London hospital, to a voice that tells her: 'You're on your own now. Take care. Be good.' She has no knowledge of her name, her past, or even her species. It takes her a while to realize that she is human — and that the beings who threaten, befriend, and violate her are other people. Some of whom seem to know all about her. In this eerie, blackly funny, and sometimes disorienting novel, Martin Amis gives us a mystery that is as ambitious as it is intriguing, an investigation of a young woman's violent extinction that also traces her construction of a new and oddly innocent self. (ISBN: 9780140060065). Fair.

Other People: A Mystery Story
London, Jonathan Cape, 1981. First edition. Cloth. The first edition of this thriller from Martin Amis. Amis saw the novel as a kind of overall investigation. "Mary (the main character) doesn't know what her role is," Amis explained in 1981. "Because of this, men start questioning their own attitudes towards women, and even about themselves. When one's role is undermined, you begin to look at everything around you in a different light." In a black cloth binding with original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, smart, with just some slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Dustwrapper is very smart. Internally, firmly bound. Bookseller's label to front pastedown, and insitutional ink stamp to front endpaper. Blue staining to the uppper textblock edge, which marginally encroaches on a few pages but does not affect the text. Pages are otherwise bright and clean, with just the odd spot. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good/Very Good Indeed.
