Garden City, Doubleday, 1960. Barth's massive third novel, which secured his reputation as one of the leading experimental writers of his generation, and helped set the standard for the postmodern fiction that dominated the 1960s. Signed by the author. Slight foxing to top edge and slighter splaying to boards; a very near fine copy in a very near fine dust jacket by Edward Gorey, and signed by Gorey on the rear flap. A very nice copy of a bulky book, seldom found in this condition; this is the nicest copy we have seen in years, and probably as nice as it gets at this point. From the collection of Bruce Kahn.   [#911006] SOLD

All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.
