About This Item
Chicago: Playboy Press, 1976. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 312 p. Selby's second novel, following his acclaimed first book, Last Exit To Brooklyn (1964). A tale of one man's battle against his own personal demons, which drive him to seduce other men's wives, win corporate and financial success, and pursue the exhilaration of increasingly savage crimes. Inscribed by Selby on the front flyleaf. Octavo. The original buckram boards are a bit edgeworn, more so at the corners and tips. Some minor shelfwear to the dust jacket, with a faint stain to the bottom edge and a few small tape repairs to the verso; else very good. Inscribed by Author.
