Softcover. Folded uncorrected long galleys printed rectos only. A little age-toning to the outside galley and a small tear to one leaf, else near fine. Prepared for the author and publisher's use, this is one of what must be only a handful of copies; we've never seen another.

Biography
American writer and perennial bohemian whose autobiographical novels had a liberating influence on mid-20th century literature. Because of their sexual frankness, his major works were banned as obscene in Britain and the United States until the 1960s, but they were widely known earlier from copies smuggled in from France. - Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literaturemore
