About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Near Fine in Very Good+ dj. 1969. First Edition. Hardcover. [minor shelfwear, slight abrasion to upper right corner of front cover (also affecting the jacket a bit in that spot); the jacket is lightly surface-worn, with a small tear at the upper rear hinge and a bit of dog-earing at the top of the spine]. The author's first novel, about down-and-out boxers, was the basis for the 1972 John Huston-directed film of the same name (for which Gardner supplied the screenplay), which starred Stacy Keach, a young Jeff Bridges, and Susan Tyrrell (who was widely praised, and Oscar-nominated as Best Supporting Actress, but whose career never really caught fire). .
