DESPERATE CHARACTERS: A Novella in Verse & Other Poems

New York: Viking, 1988. First edition. An uncorrected proof copy in plain blue wrappers, with a page of blurbs (which appear on the back panel of the hardcover) inserted. Tail of spine has a 3/4 " tear, and the sheet of blurbs was once stapled to the FFEP, and staple marks show through to the title page. Still a clean and tight copy.
