Satan: His Psychotherapy and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, J.S.P.S. by Jeremy Leven
Uncorrected proof. Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1982.
Scarce uncorrected proof copy, clearly marked “THIS IS AN UNCORRECTED PROOF & should not be quoted…” with publisher’s printed notice. Includes handwritten tentative publication date (May 25, 1982) and tentative price ($13.95), as issued.
A cult literary novel framed as the psychiatric case history of Satan himself—darkly comic, philosophical, and very much of its moment. Leven later became better known as a screenwriter (Don Juan DeMarco, The Legend of Bagger Vance), but this novel has long had a quiet afterlife among collectors of literary oddities and transgressive fiction.
Condition: Very good. Clean, sound, and complete. Light handling wear consistent with advance proofs; no major flaws noted.
