The Room.

New York: Grove Press, 1971. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light toning to the edges. The Room, by the author of The Last Exit to Brooklyn, is a startling series of recollections and fantasies that illuminate the workings of a prisoner's unhinged mindRoomn. He yearns for his violent childhood, rages against obscure authorities, and imagines enacting horrible revenge on those who imprisoned him. The prisoner's remand cell becomes the scene of a surreal mental torture. Disorienting, nightmarish and structurally inventive, "The Room" is a shocking examination of the suffering humans can inflict on each other. Item #28507
