Sobre este artículo
New York: Grove Press, 1978. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Inscribed by the author to character actor and filmmaker Paul Bartel on the front flyleaf. Best known for his black comedy Eating Raoul (1982), Bartel was also a noted bibliophile who collected writers like Harry Crews, David Mamet, and Norman Mailer who shared his jaundiced view of America and his fondness for rough language and grotesque humor.
Set in a radio station studio during "The Century of Progress Exposition" at the 1934 Chicago World's Fair, this pair of dramas focus on a poor young factory worker who invents an engine that runs on water and a radio-show host who helps listeners with their personal problems.
Octavo. Original cloth binding, with blue titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
