Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition, with a complete number string including the no. "1" on the printer's page. The book was published simultaneously in the US by Grove Press. ***Fine in black cloth-covered boards with white titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. Internally also fine with no inscriptions. No foxing. Pages clean. Black and white photo-illustrated front and rear free endpapers. Spine tight. ***In a fine colour printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £20.00. No chips or tears. No creases. No fading. Dustwrapper fine, crisp and bright. ***214 pages. 224 mm x 144 mm. ***In 1944, Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs were taken into police custody following a murder. One of their friends, Lucien Carr, had stabbed another, David Kammerer, whose sexual advances he'd seemingly grown tired of rejecting. Carr, still in bloodstained clothes, had come to each of them and confessed: Kerouac helped him get rid of the weapon - neither told the police. For this failing they were arrested. ***Months later the two writers - unpublished at the time - collaborated on 'And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks', a fictionalized account of the week leading up to the killing. They wrote alternating chapters - Burroughs writing as sometime bartender and workaday detective Will Dennison, Kerouac as Mike Ryko, a merchant seaman. ***From this intensely personal material they made a hardboiled account of a group of friends moving through each other's apartments, killing time drinking, necking, talking and taking drugs, and haphazardly drifting towards a bloody crime - flabby, likeable Ramsey Allen trailing after the beautiful Phillip Tourain, constantly angering him with his endless desire to please. Unpublished until now, this is a kind of crime novel of humans stewing in their inactivity, and a remarkable insight into the lives and literary development of two great writers.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the first UK edition, in fine bright collectable condition - a pristine copy and harder to find than the US edition. Of interest to collectors of William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac and The Beats first edition titles. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
