[Four Plays]: jinny; knightwood; clay; laramie [4 volumes; sold as a set]

New York: linden publishers. Very Good+. 1972-1975. 1st printings. Stapled wraps. [all are in VG+ or better condition, with the exception of the fourth ("laramie"), which has some uneven sun-tanning to the front cover]. Four early plays by this prolific but fairly obscure playwright: "jinny" (September 1972), "knightwood" (January 1973), "clay" (March 1973), and "laramie" (October 1975). Several of his plays (although apparently none of these four) were produced at Playwrights Horizon in New York in the early 1970s; according to a biographical blurb that dates from that period, he was also purported to have written a number of novels and also some poetry. All four of these plays (in identical format, with plain-colored cardstock covers) were offset-printed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and it seems pretty clear that "linden publishers" was essentially his self-publishing venure. (It was later located in Hollywood, to which it may be tentatively presumed that he had relocated; at least one of his poetry collections, from the early 1980s, was L.A.-themed.) Also to be noted is that all these plays were typed using lower-case letters only -- long before the Internet and social media made that a regular thing. (Perhaps he was channeling his inner e.e. cummings.) These are for sale as a set only -- but hey, if you're interested in Mark Dunster, I figure you're going to want them all, right? [NOTE: the slightly-too-bright yellow on the upper corner of the second book in the scanned image is a function of my scanner, and does not accurately show the mostly-uniform color of the actual item.] .
