(London), Andre Deutsch, (1993). A novel by the National Book Award-winning author, the second volume in what has come to be known as his "Prostitution Trilogy." Vollmann's books often deal with characters on the fringes of society, and when a section of this novel was published in Esquire magazine -- part of the story "More Benadryl, Whined the Journalist" -- it was taken by many to be nonfiction, as the author's actual exploits as recounted in his nonfiction were as extreme as his fiction. Copy "A" of 26 lettered copies, bound in red cloth and marbled paper boards. Signed by the author. This copy was reserved for the publisher. Fine in a fine slipcase. [#029739] SOLD
