WURLITZER, Rudolph

Nog

First edition. Owner's name, a little scratching on the front board, and slight spotting on the topedge stain, else near fine in very good dustwrapper with small tears. Inscribed by the author beneath the owner's name: "January 1969 from Rudy." Wurlitzer's first novel, a sixties road trip narrative that was compared to Pynchon's work (Pynchon himself contributed a blurb to a later Wurlitzer novel). Wurlitzer also wrote numerous screenplays including the cult drag-racing film Two-Lane Blacktop starring James Taylor and Dennis Wilson, and the cult search-for-the-perfect-guitar film Candy Mountain with Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Dr. John, and many others.
