Description:
Hard-to-find first American edition. Tight, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked text block. Very minor shelf-wear. Design by Peter McKenzie. Cover design by Blanche Nonoo. 'A Season in Paradise, ' writes Andrei Codrescu, 'is a journey unlike anything in literature unless one digs back to Dante's travelog through the nine circles or Homer's mist-wrapped Odyssey. A spiritual journey, an earthly travelog, a poet's chronicle of his soul, the mythic biography of a country, an exotic picture album, a revolutionary treatise, a wrenching lament for a dying species, the book is all of these.' 291 pp. Biography.
