An original novel about the Beat Generation of the '50s. A lonely and promiscuous girl stumbles "onto Shelley, crude and sensual....It was all fire and passion and it threw an alluring light -- until it raged out of control and began to destroy her". Some corner wear and modest edge wear, an edge bump affects the first few pages, some uneven page edges (though binding is secure), a few page corner creases, toned pages. A fairly uncommon book.
