First American edition of Kingsley Amis’s sharp and darkly comic novel Girl, 20, a biting satire of the 60's and 1970's music scene and midlife crisis. Set in London Girl, 20 is "vintage Amis, acidly funny and shamelessly entertaining". A well-preserved copy of Amis’s social satire that still feels wickedly relevant today.
Perfect for collectors of modern first editions, fans of British literature, or readers who enjoy the witty, acerbic style of Amis and his contemporaries.
