New York: Viking. 1967 1st ed. 256pp. burgundy cloth 8vo: near Fine in a Good dj with some edge tears & nicks, now in Brodart cover. A nice copy of English writer and Joycean John Burgess Wilson’s ("Anthony Burgess," 1917-93) merciful reduction (by two-thirds) of Joyce’s (1882-1941) impenetrable "comic" final novel, originally published in 1939.

Follows a man's thoughts and dreams during a single night. It is also a book that participates in the re-reading of Irish history that was part of the revival of the early 20th century. The author also wrote "Ulysses", "Dubliners" and "Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man".
