Hardback. Geronimo Rex, Barry Hannah's brilliant first novel, which was nominated for the National Book Award, is full of the rare verve and flawless turns of phrase that have defined his status as an American master. Roiling with love and torment, lunacy and desire, hilarity and tenderness, Geronimo Rex is the bildungsroman of an unlikely hero. Reared in gloomy Dream of Pines, Louisiana, whose pines have long since yielded to paper mills, Harry Monroe is ready to take on the world. Inspired by the great Geronimo's heroic rampage through the Old West, Harry puts on knee boots and a scarf and voyages out into the swamp of adolescence in the South of the 1950s and '60s. Along the way he is attacked by an unruly peacock; discovers women, rock 'n' roll, and jazz; and stalks a pervert white supremacist who fancies himself the next Henry Miller. 1972, First edition. A very good copy only marked by tanning to the edges of the text block and a remainder mark on the bottom edge. The contents are fine and unmarked.

** SIGNED, FIRST EDITION ** Signed by Barry Hannah on title page, Bound in publisher's crimson boards with light brown cloth backstrip lettered in brown and crimson. Fine in near fine unclipped dust jacket. The author's first novel. SYNOPSIS Geronimo Rex is Barry Hannah's first novel, a bildungsroman (coming-of-age story) that follows the misadventures of Harry Monroe in the American South during the 1950s and 1960s. The story is a humorous and often scattered account of Harry's adolescence as he attempts to navigate life in the fictional town of Dream of Pines, Louisiana. Inspired by the historical figure Geronimo, Harry adopts a persona, complete with a gun and a long coat, as he experiences: Adolescent Awakening: Harry explores themes of love, sex, and lunacy while growing up in a troubled and bigoted environment. Encounters and Conflicts: His journey involves various encounters, including falling for the niece of a "rabidly racist" local figure named Whitfield Peter, leading to several tense confrontations. Exploration of Identity: The novel explores Harry's attempts to figure out his life, dabbling in music, medicine, and literature, all while mulling over concepts of beauty and art.
