Hardcover. First edition. Fine in very good dustwrapper with small tears, and some stains on the front panel. Wonderfully Inscribed by the author using the entire front fly: "To Anne, Thanks for the last chapter – you've saved my life every year since I was three – and before! You are the only creature I really care about. XXXXX love, Rudy. P.S. I get high just seeing you!" Wurlitzer's first novel, a Sixties road trip narrative that was compared to Thomas Pynchon's work (Pynchon himself contributed a blurb to a later Wurlitzer novel). Wurlitzer also wrote numerous screenplays including the racing film *Two-Lane Blacktop* starring James Taylor and Dennis Wilson, and the "search-for-the-perfect-guitar" cult film *Candy Mountain* with Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Dr. John, and many others.
