About This Item
Tight, square spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Mylar-protected jacket has some chipping, edge-wear, and soiling. Jacket design by Victoria Dudley. Jacket photo by Marc Miller. Author photo by Walter Giersbach. A tongue-in-cheek attempt at a literary hoax, The Sweetmeat Saga tells the tale of Pookie and Paul Sweetmeat, millionaire rockstar prodigies who draw 'bigger crowds than kennedy or nixon'. Suspected of conspiring with Russia ('unwilling tools of those monsters/ possibly through hypnosis'), the twins disappear on their 21st birthday and mayhem ensues. The book, according to its author, was composed on 'legal-sized paper in a portable non-electric Olympia typewriter', and the published version retains this Kerouac-inspired typesetting. 241 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
