TIDHAR, Lavie. The Escapement. Hornsea: PS Publishing Ltd., 2021.
4to., publisher's decorative boards with clown face design; in repeat dust wrapper, with photograph of the author to the lower panel; red and yellow endpapers; pp. [xv], 10-277, [iii]; a fine copy in all respects, lacking the slipcase.
Limited to an edition of 100 copies signed by the author. This, curiously, numbered 'R'.
Part Western, surrealism, epic fantasy, mythology, and circus extravaganza in equal measure, Tidhar's 8th novel chronicles a lone man's quest to rescue his son from a parallel world. It has been compared to the archetypal darkness of Stephen King's The Gunslinger.
