MRS. MUNCK.

Edition: First printing.

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1970. dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - Author's first book, a novel set in a small town on the Carquinez Straits of the San Francisco Bay, a story of a woman's vengeance on the man who abandoned her decades before. "The cumulative force and the pure suspense of 'Mrs. Munck' is considerable. The device of turning the tables and making the old man completely dependent on Rose - of making him in turn the victim of a society that refuses to take its women and its old people seriously - works perfectly" (NY Times) .Basis for the rather unsuccessful film adapted, directed, and starring Diane Ladd. SIGNED by the author on the title page and also SIGNED on the title page by Diane and Leo Dillon, the artists who painted the striking illustration on the dustjacket. Possibly a unique copy with these 3 signatures. 336 pp.
