IN MEMORIAM TO IDENTITY.

Edition: First printing.

New York: Grove Weidenfeld, (1990) dj. Hardcover first edition - A book which "interweaves the stories of three characters who share the same tragic flaw: a predilection for doomed, obsessive love. Rimbaud, the delinquent symbolist prodigy, is deserted by his lover Verlaine time and time again. Airplane takes a job dancing at Fun City, the seventh tier of the sex industry, in order to support her good-for-nothing boyfriend. And Capitol feels alive only when she's having sex with her brother, Quentin." Reviewer Tim Clark called this "a weird, violent, searing, angry work, full of pain, dislocation, desire, hate and the raging drive of resistant creation." 265 pp. ISBN: 0-80211170X.

Condition: Very near fine in a like dustjacket (one corner slightly bumped)
