About This Item
New York:: Villard,, (2001). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. First printing. The author's first book, based on his own experiences as a bike messenger in Chicago - "Fast-paced, danger-filled, and thoroughly spellbinding.. . a truly stunning book, completely original, a mixture of autobiography and philosophical treatise. Culley is a genuinely gifted writer, able to turn a seemingly ordinary bike ride into poetry in motion... We see the world through the eyes of a man hurtling through it at breakneck speed, and nothing we see, nothing we hear, is the way we expect it to be. One of the very best nonfiction books of recent years, and a treat for anyone gutsy enough to climb aboard." (Booklist) INSCRIBED on the title page. Erratum slip laid in (pages 62-64 are out of order) Illustrated with photographs. 324 pp.
