Further Information
Thomas Boileau and Pierre Narcejac is the pseudonym used
by two authors from France. Whilst not a huge output they are sought
after and very collectable. Their best known work is probably The Living
and the Dead as it was the basis of the movie adaptation for Vertigo.
The books were all published in France initially. The only American book
that I am aware of is the first novel which was published stateside in
1954 by Rinehart under the title The Woman Who Was No More. Three of the
translators that I have to hand are Daphne Woodward, Geoffrey Sainsbury
and Brian Rawson. The English first editions also benefit from some
striking contemporary dustwrapper artwork. All of the British 1sts are
regarded as uncommon, especially so in collectable condition, some are
genuinely very rare books and are valued accordingly. |
