Caliban's Filibuster by West, Paul - 1971

New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc.. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1971. First Edition. Hardcover. SIGNED by author in black ink on full title page. "This book presents a thoroughly original novel in a unique new format: the text of the work is followed by a discussion of its meaning, technique, and development in the form of an interview between Paul West and George Plimpton, general editor of Paris Review Editions. The story itself is an autobiographical extravaganza babbled out by a TV scriptwriter who, agonizingly aware of having wasted his abilities, dubs himself Caliban and tries to hide from his own self-awareness behind a screen of words."
