Richard Brautigan
Revenge of the Lawn: Stories 1962–1970
London: Jonathan Cape, 1972
Advance/Review Copy (Uncorrected Issue)
Issued in advance of publication by Jonathan Cape, 1972. Publisher’s patterned red wrappers with review slip affixed to rear cover. 176 pp. First published in Great Britain 1972.
A scarce advance state of Brautigan’s celebrated short fiction collection, gathering sixty-two pieces written across his most inventive decade. By the early 1970s Brautigan had become a literary cult figure — equal parts surrealist, minimalist, and countercultural poet of the American West. Advance copies of Cape editions were produced in modest numbers for review and were not intended for retail sale.
Condition:
Very Good. Moderate rubbing and handling wear to wrappers; light edge wear; slight toning consistent with age. Binding sound; text clean and complete.
A desirable pre-publication issue of one of Brautigan’s most enduring collections.
