Identifier: CC-31521-33014

Scope and Contents

The dust jacket is chipped and torn in several places. However the black cloth cover and the text and images are in fine condition. The prose and poems are printed in back to back reversed sections for each of the two novels. The novel "For Jesus Lunatick" is printed without punctuations in a highly experimental layout including several numbered blank pages. The latter are for numbered illustrations placed in the center section that the reader is requested to cut and paste to the respective page. "Andy "is punctuated and layed out experimentally with some pages concrete poetic in appearance. It, too, has several pages that are numbered and blank with exception of a single number placed at different locations to receive the illustrations from the cutttings in the center section. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
