The Dark Room

by Rachel Seiffert

This is the 2001 first Canadian edition and first printing of The Dark Room, Rachel Seiffert’s acclaimed debut novel, published in hardcover by Alfred A. Knopf Canada with its dust jacket. Structured around three ordinary Germans living in different periods of the twentieth century, the novel considers how personal memory, silence and inherited responsibility intersect with the history of Nazi Germany and its aftermath. The Dark Room was shortlisted for the 2001 Booker Prize.

This copy is flat signed by Rachel Seiffert on the title page and additionally marked “Toronto 30/05/01.” The signature is not personalized to a recipient. Also included is a college-issued bookmark bearing a crest and the statement “Signed by the author.”

The book is in Very Good condition overall. Foxing is confined to the long fore-edge, where scattered brown spots are visible in the photographs. The dust jacket is present. Please check all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
