About This Item
New York: Grove Press, 1983. First edition, first printing. Published by Grove Press in New York, 1983. This is a near fine copy. Plainly designed, the dust wrapper has some slight surface scratching throughout, and some very slight rubbing. It is also slightly sunned at the spine. It has not been price clipped, showing the original $12.95 net price. The boards are tight and free from notable chips and marks and the text blocks are bright and white throughout. This copy is free from previous owners ink and is, overall, in near fine condition. Published posthumously, this novel expresses sex and excess as a means to an end.
