A pair of brief autobiographical portraits by American writer and counterculture icon Herbert Huncke (1915-1996): one of Elsie-John, a German crossdresser and self-described "hermaphrodite" who performed a half-man, half-woman act in Chicago side-shows and later on Coney Island, and was instrumental in introducing a young Huncke to the drug and gay underworlds; the other of Joey Martinez, a young Puerto Rican street tough whom Huncke befriended while in the hospital undergoing methadone treatment.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A miniature book, signed on the first blank by Huncke, and an association copy, from the library of Edith (Edie) Kerouac-Parker, Jack Kerouac's first wife (but not inscribed to her). Edie and Herbert of course were friends in New York from the earliest days of the Beats (Huncke is often attributed with coming up with the term "Beats"). Edie appears as Judie Smith in Kerouac's novel The Town and the City, as Elly in Visions of Cody, as Edna "Johnnie" Palmer in Vanity of Duluoz, and as herself in "The Original Scroll"--the unedited edition of On the Road. Her memoir You'll Be Okay: My Life with Jack Kerouac was published posthumously in 2007 by City Lights. An invoice (not included, but a photocopy can be provided) shows that this book was sold in 1997 with other volumes from Parker's library by the bookseller and Beat archive consultant Bill Morgan in NYC. Scarce signed. In near fine condition with just a touch of wear to outer edge of front cover at the flap. Among the rarest of volumes produced by Hanuman Books.
