Authors: Kent, ANDERSON

Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company Ltd, 1987

First Edition of the author's first book. Author's inscription to recto of front endpaper, his signature in black ink to titlepage. Inscription reads: ' "Morally Repugnant" - That's what some dope at Kirkies called this book in his prissy and grunt dumb review. I'd like to find him at one of those Academic literary conventions - At the big party - and slap his face until he cried in front of all the other half-smart gutless dorks who go to those things [signed] Kent '. The inscription reflects Anderson's frustration at the critical reception his brutal and nihilistic Vietnam War story received on publication. Spine lettered in gold. Original pictorial dust-jacket designed by Kirschner-Caroff, cover illustration by Alberto Barrerea, back cover lightly marked with creasing to one corner.

A fine copy in the near-fine jacket.
