NY: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1979. Octavo. 240pp. Orange cloth boards, black spine lettering; dust jacket. Very fine in a like, unclipped jacket showing just a touch of wear at spine ends.
An immaculate first edition copy of the sole novel by the influential and controversial American literary critic: an interstellar explication of Christian Gnostic principles, with a plot heavily indebted to David Lindsay's sui generis fantasy A Voyage to Arcturus (1920).
