Very Good condition paperback. Clean pages and covers. Spine shows signs of wear, as pictured. Otherwise in very good condition.

War has left Clinton Brown permanently disfigured by a terrible military accident. He works as a rewrite man for Pacific City’s Courier newspaper. Brown’s wife Ellen returns to Pacific City, ready to do whatever it takes to get Brown back. Even if it means exposing his deepest secret.

The Nothing Man is Thompson at his most psychologically astute, in a deeply suspenseful and tragic portrait of one man’s journey through the dark side of the Postwar Boom.
