(no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, very light wear to the extremities, slight offsetting to the endpapers (from the no-longer-present jacket flaps)]. An epic satire of the American funeral industry. Published, oddly enough, in the same year as Evelyn Waugh's "The Loved One," it's remained undeservedly in the shadow of that more notorious work. Belfrage (also a Brit, though considerably to the left of Waugh politically) tells the saga of the Hope Family, an undertaking dynasty, founders of "the first combined mortuary and cemetery in that section of the United States," The Vale of Hope -- ultimately franchised nationwide as The Vales Inc. A funny, caustic book. Signed by Author
