(London), Andre Deutsch, (1993). A novel by the National Book Award-winning author, the second volume in what has come to be known as his "Prostitution Trilogy." Vollmann's books often deal with characters on the fringes of society, and when a section of this novel was published in Esquire magazine -- part of the story "More Benadryl, Whined the Journalist" -- it was taken by many to be nonfiction, as the author's actual exploits as recounted in his nonfiction were as extreme as his fiction. This is one of a limited edition of three Roman-numeraled copies prepared by the publisher, this being Copy I of III -- the publisher's own copy of the most limited issue of this title, signed by the author. Bound in full red morocco in red cloth slipcase. Fine in a fine slipcase. [#029738] SOLD
