Description
Stock Code 107425
New YORK, Grove Press.1964
£1,250
A fine and very moving presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the verso of the half title leaf, 'Dear Leonard I'm glad that you have found your Exit from our mutual problem love Cubby 11.26.74'. The recipient was a member of AA, the 'mutual problem' of course the alcoholism which eventually killed Selby. Last Exit is truly one of the greatest collections of linked short stories in the language. Full of terrifying beauty and occasionally beautiful terror. The scene where the mob catches the paedophile is a passage which once read is never forgotten. Inscribed copies with anything like a meaningful association are rare. The book was initially banned in the UK at least in unexpurgated form. Anthony Burgess was instrumental in the book's UK publication. Cubby by the way was Selby's pet name as revealed by Walter Lowenfels poem for his author friend, Welcome Home Cubby. -
