Place of Publication: New York, United States
Year: 1972

Binding: Hardcover with Dust Jacket
Surfacing is one of Margaret Atwood’s early and increasingly sought-after novels, published at the beginning of her rise to international literary prominence. This 1972 first U.S. printing presents a psychologically rich and symbolically layered narrative exploring identity, memory, and the tension between civilization and the natural world. Preceding her later global success, this work has become a key collectible for those building a serious Atwood collection.
Margaret Atwood is one of the most influential contemporary authors, known for works such as The Handmaid’s Tale and her contributions to feminist literature, speculative fiction, and literary fiction. Early first printings like Surfacing continue to gain attention as collectors look deeper into her foundational works.
Condition: Very good. Clean, tight, and unmarked throughout. Binding remains firm with no looseness. Pages are bright with a small, light smudge and dust soiling to the top page block (seen in photo).

A small gift inscription is present on the front free endpaper.
