The Beastly Beatitudes Of Balthazar B

The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B (1969) by J.P. Donleavy – Eyre and Spottiswoode Edition
Sold by Crappy Old Books

Brace yourself for a bittersweet romp through love, lust, and lost innocence with Balthazar B, the world’s most reluctantly charming aristocrat. In this cult classic from 1969, J.P. Donleavy serves up his trademark cocktail of bawdy humour, poetic prose, and tragicomic absurdity. Follow Balthazar’s journey from an elite Catholic boarding school to the debauched fringes of European society, accompanied by the unforgettable beast of a best friend, Beefy.

This Eyre and Spottiswoode first edition is battered, bruised, and beautifully lived-in—just like its hero. Pages slightly yellowed, spine with a noble lean, but every word intact and dripping with Donleavy’s delightful derangement.
