Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1969. Near fine in very good jacket, near fine slipcase.. Signed limited first edition of one of Roth's best, most-loved, and most controversial novels. Roth's much-praised, much-hated, much-discussed comic novel detailing the familial, sexual, scatological, spiritual, and other travails of the eponymous narrator. Donaldson is the author of respected biographies of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, and authored a 1970 article on Roth in the journal Contemporary Literature. "This is the novel which is said to do for masturbation what Melville did for the whale" (Anthony Burgess). The limited edition is quite scarce in both the original jacket and slipcase. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original cream textured cloth, spine and front board stamped in gilt. In original cream dust jacket. In original red paper slipcase with number handwritten to spine (83). Red endpapers, red top edge, fore-edge machine deckle. [10], 274, [2] pages. Signed by Roth on limitation page, numbered 83. Jacket with toned spine, uneven toning around joints. Book clean with only light toning to spine.
