Description: First edition hardcover copy of In Viriconium, by M. John Harrison (Victor Gollancz, 1982). The third volume in Harrison's masterful Viriconium sequence, set in a far future Earth, where advanced technology has been largely forgotten and replaced by medieval-style social structure. The books in the series progress in style and decadence, culminating in this volume, which was described as "Pre-Raphaelite sword-and-sorcery." The book tells the story of Audsley King, an artist in Viriconium who is slowly dying of a mysterious plague. But with Harrison's novels, the plot isn't really the point. The whole series is widely considered one of the greatest stylistic achievements of late 20th-century science fiction, and In Viriconium represents the acme of the series. This book is in excellent condition, with a perfectly intact dustcover and no sign of ever having been read.
