NY, Random House, (1975). An unusual novel, almost an extended prose poem, that is, in part, an elegy to the turtle fishermen of the Grand Cayman islands, written in their dialect. Unmarked, but from the library of Peter Matthiessen. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. A nice copy of a book that is often found in poor condition: an NYU course in book design cited this title as one that, because the text block is too heavy for the binding, is a classic example of poor book design. On the other hand, between the dialect and the unusual page layout, with the text typeset like poetry and large amounts of white space on the pages, it is the favorite book among many of the author's admirers.
