Extended Description and Notes
Unread Bard paperback of Lucifer With A Book. First Bard printing, June, 1977 stated.
"Oddly, LUCIFER WITH A BOOK has been out of print for at least two decades. Now as the brief career of John Horne Burns emerges as one of the most important of the post-war years, his remarkable gifts are reveled. It is as Maxwell Geismar noted on publication: "What is apparent... is the dominant sexuality of the novel, and a sexuality that finds expression in harsh and violent terms. There is an inverted Puritanism in Mr. Burns's work, and a remarkably sophisticated sense of evil and malice... You can read LUCIFER WITH A BOOK for entertainment on a high level." - back cover

NB&E, prides itself on rescuing unique and nostalgic books that sometimes include an element. I provide detailed descriptions, multiple photographs, and wrap most dust jacket in a protective sleeve.
