About This Item
Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England: Penguin Books, 1986. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. Spine creased. Reading and shelf wear. Edges lightly tanned. Text unmarked. Not from a library. No remainder mark. No tears. 522 pages.
Edward Baltram is overwhelmed with guilt. His nasty little prank has gone horribly wrong: He has fed his closest friend a sandwich laced with a hallucinogenic drug and the young man has fallen out of a window to his death. Edward searches for redemption through a reunion with his famous father, the reclusive painter Jesse Baltram. Funny and compelling, The Good Apprentice is at once a supremely sophisticated entertainment and an inquiry into the spiritual crises that afflict the modern world.
