About This Item
New York: Simon and Schuster, (1967). 240pp. Sm. 8vo. Hardcover. Very good in a good dustwrapper.
First edition, first printing. The author's second novel. "Ira Cohen, a friend of Chester's in Tangier, described the novel as 'a homo masterpiece born in the Bronx, made hairless by X-ray treatments, lovers with burnt marshmallow faces, a changeling born of lesbian frankfurter love taken away by angels with frosted toilet glass wings, broken telephone booths in the middle of the forest.'" (Continuum Encyclopedia of American Literature)
