RATNOSE: A JOURNEY UP THE HASSAYAMPA. [London]: London Magazine Editions, 1975. Octavo, boards. First British edition. "A man is the sum of his scars." - Ratnose. A surreal coming of age novel set in a polluted, overpopulated world of the future in which a man and his son undertake a trip up the Hassayampa, a river of all time and all cultures, from the Paleolithic to post-2001, all geographies from Westchester County to northern China, all of which exist simultaneously in a haphazard jumble as astonishingly disordered as history itself. "... an unusual and sophisticated interaction of action and a slightly gonzo literary introspection, a quasi-genre which might be called the 'literary safari'" - John Clute. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 361. Reginald 08012. A fine copy in very good or better dust jacket with 19 mm closed tear at upper front spine fold and associated wrinkle to front panel. (#161532).
