Vanity of Duluoz by Jack Kerouac.
New York: Coward-Mccan Inc, 1968. First Edition. Black cloth spine slightly faded with gilt letters, graphics somewhat dulled but intact; a bit of wear at edges; light rubbing, browning & occasional spotting to edges of text block.
Book itself is in very good condition. The interior is very fine. Original, unclipped dust jacket near-fine with light rubbing on top and bottom of spine.
The last novel published during the lifetime of Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), Founding Father of the Beat Generation, in the year before his death. A fictionalized memoir as are almost all his works, this book, sub-titled “An Adventurous Education, 1935-46” (title page) recounts the early experiences of the author from childhood through young adulthood.
