by BAKER, Elliott
New York: Putnam, 1964. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper with a short crease on the front flap and just a touch of age-toning. Author's first novel, winner of the Putnam Award, the serio-comic story of a raging poet and his attempt to maintain his identity in a world seeking to normalize him, and the basis for the Irving Kershner film featuring Sean Connery, Joanne Woodward, Jean Seberg, Patrick O'Neal and Colleen Dewhurst. A nice copy of a scarce book. (Inventory #: 39398)
