Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. Gregory Corso is sometimes described as the youngest of the Beat Generation and was well known by all the major participants. His upbringing as a foundling, sleeping rough on the streets of Little Italy and doing time for petty theft made him all too familiar with the real hardships of a beat life. He doesn't appear to have lost the habit of stealing, especially books, even from friends and supporters, to fund his hand to mouth existence. The fact that so many people put up with this suggests that he must have had considerable charm and he also produced a wide range of poetry and written work. This was his only novel issued by Olympia Press in 1961. This copy is in excellent condition with its photographic dust wrapper.
