Do These Bones Live [*SIGNED*]

(price-clipped) [sharp-looking copy, minor shelfwear only to book, slight age-toning to edges of text block; minor wear to jacket at extremities, faint scratch line on front panel, downgraded from Near Fine only because of the price-clipping]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper, to artist R.B. Kitaj: "For Kitaj, whom I / suspect is an *artist*, but / then I'm a very suspicious / man / Edward / July 23.70 / London." Dahlberg's first published book of nonfiction (after three novels), a volume of essays and cultural and literary criticism. The jacket blurb intones: "In fable, bitterness, allusion, paradox, and anger this book, a horoscope of man's dark and underground nature, has been written. It shall find its place in the remembered works of man." Critic Jonathan Williams described the book as "a ranging attack on the Modern World, on you, on me, on every disintegration and blight of American civilization, on the superstitions of Totalitarian Man."
