"Desolation Angels" by Jack Kerouac with original, un-clipped dust jacket (showing the original $5.95 price). 1965 1st Edition, 1st Printing; New York; Coward-McCann.
DESOLATION ANGELS
With the publication of "On the Road" in 1957, Jack Kerouac became at once the spokesman and hero of the Beat Generation. Along with such visionaries as William S. Burroughs, Neal Cassady, and Allen Ginsberg, Kerouac changed the face of American literature, igniting a counterculture revolution that even now, decades later, burns brighter than ever in Desolation Angels.
Desolation Angels is Jack Kerouac's strongest novel since On the Road - and his most eagerly awaited. Begun in the mid-1950's, completed in 1961, and thereafter passed from hand to hand in the literary underground until the tattered manuscript reached the publisher in 1964, Desolation Angels already has a reputation as the candid in-group account of the key figures of the Beat Generation and of the crucial year that brought them together in San Francisco and Mexico in 1956-1957.
Condition:
Clean covers and spine with no stains; sharp corners. Tight binding. No cracks. No loose pages. The inside of the book is in terrific condition - clean, white pages with no writing, stains, foxing or tears found. The original dust jacket is in great condition - un-clipped showing original $5.95 price; clean with no stains; there are a few small tears along the perimeter. Overall in very good condition.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
