Columbus: Ohio State University Press, 1974. Hardcover. 8vo. 123pp. First edition. Very good in a good jacket.
Black cloth boards lightly bumped at top corners. Textblock shows toned along the edges. Unclipped "$6.00" jacket has four 1" closed tears, with a partial loss at top of front panel and smaller chips to head of spine and rear panel.
A surreal and dream-like novel, presumably translated from the Czech; dedication page reads "To Jarmila Veltrusky, / who made my Czech English." Front flap blurb includes praise from John Gardner.
