Sobre este artículo
New York: Farrar, Strauss, Giroux, 1968. 8vo, pp. 309. Original grey marbled boards, lettered in silver on red spine. Brown top edge. A near fine copy in a very good dustwrapper, a little edgewear and light dampstaining to top edge of rear panel. First edition. Wolfe's collection of essays documenting the 1960s counterculture of the USA in general and New York in particular. An indispensable social document and an early, dazzling firework display from the man who would go on to establish himself as his country's psychoanalyst-in-chief.
