First edition.Audaciously cast in the form of a hilariously ribald parody of a literary Quarterly - including such magazine paraphernalia as ads and letters to the editor - The Tar Baby, Charyn's seventh novel, coalesces into a brilliant, story-filled novel populated by an array of brawling academics and earthy townies. Above all, it is an entertainment that will disturb and delight a college-bred generation.Jerome Charyn was born in the Bronx area of New York and was educated at Columbia (BA, 1959), where he studied history and comparative literature with a focus on Russian literature. He has written 37 novels including three memoirs about his childhood in the Bronx, The Dark Lady from Belorusse, The Black Swan, and Bronx Boy, the first two of which were named New York Times Book Of the Year.

Description:
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1973. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First printing as verified by McBride. Spine is tight, boards rigid and tips are pointed. Mottling on top of text block. Appears unread. The jacket is NOT price clipped but has slightest hint of label ghost on front cover. Some wear at spine ends with small tear at top front corner. Looks quite smart in its shiny new plastic cover. Shipping box is suitable for wrapping with a non-price listed purchase order inside along with biodegradable packing. "Clever, witty and different...Ribald, tongue-in-cheek, Nabokovian. Charyn's ingenuity and versatility are evident, and he will undoubtedly entertain sophisticates with his sly digs, buffoonery, and mazelike plot." - Publishers Weekly..
