About This Item
Black cloth covered hardcover boards with gilt lettering on spine. Hardcover has no defects, as new.
DJ is price clipped and has age toning, otherwise no defects noted.
This was Brautigan's eighth novel, piublished in 1977. This is a first printing.
Not since 'Trout Fishing in America' had Brautigan so successfully combined his weird sense of humor with the incredible poetic imagination he was so famous for around the world.
The adventures of the seedy, not-too-bright private eye detective C. Card, as he carefully wnds his way between fantasy and reality, Babylon and San Francisco, are a delight to both the mind and heart.
We have a number of Brautigan titles, so please check back as we list them.
