In honor of her 95th birthday, celebrated in an adjoining post, Henry Bemis Books is pleased to offer one of her more unusual works of fiction:
James, P.D., The Children of Men (Alfred A. Knopf, 1st American edition, 1993). ISBN 0-679-41873-3. Best known for her Adam Dalgliesh detective novels, James surprised and delighted readers when, at 73, she produced a dystopian sci fi novel in which all the men of England became infertile in 1995. In 2021 things were rapidly unraveling socially, and Oxford don Theodore Faron found himself drawn into the thick of the coming fray. Made into a 2006 film with Clive Owen. Hardcover, unclipped dustjacket, as new. 241 pp. HBB price: $100.
