Blueboards with gilt lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 215 x 134mm. Autobiography of New Zealand Author. "Once Is Enough" (1973) is the first volume of a trilogy of autobiographical writings. It was followed by "More Than Enough" (1975) and "Never Enough" (1977). "Frank Sargeson's intriguing memoir - the word is made beautifully apt - is divided into two parts: 'Up onto the Roof and Down Again,' a reflectivew journey through the countryside of the author's childhood, and 'Third Class Country,' which takes us back to that childhood." - from dust-jacket blurb. "In his seventies, however, Sargeson returned to the subjective but essentially naturalistic style of more orthodox narrative as he composed a trilogy of memoirs." - William Broughton, in Robinson & Wattie (1998) "The Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature."
