This is the rare limited edition with the gold skull and crossbones foil stamp to the front and back endpapers. Jim Nisbet (January 20, 1947 - September 28, 2022) was an American author. Nisbet received a degree in literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before settling in San Francisco, California, where he wrote poetry, short stories, plays, and novels. He also ran a studio designing and building "electronics furniture"â"consoles and cabinetry for audio and video production studios. He was the author of 13 published novels and six books of poetry, and he contributed to many collections and journals. His work was published in the U.S., France (by Rivages, under legendary editor François Guérif), Germany, and Italy. Nisbet's writing used the conventions of crime fiction and noir to support a dark, cerebral, and harrowing narrative, laced with humor and carried off in unexpected directions by exuberant wordplay. He incorporated themes as wide-ranging as sailing, particle physics, mathematics, ancient Rome, modern jazz, and urban subculture. Steve Clay Wilson (July 25, 1941 - February 7, 2021) was an American underground cartoonist and central figure in the underground comix movement. Wilson attracted attention from readers with aggressively violent and sexually explicit panoramas of lowlife denizens, often depicting the wild escapades of pirates and bikers. He was an early contributor to Zap Comix. A striking feature of Wilson's work is the contrast between the literate way in which his characters speak and think and the depraved violence in which they engage. As James Danky and Denis Kitchen wrote in their book, Underground Classics, "He astonished and sometimes frightened his fellow cartoonists, though they saw it as pushing if not eviscerating the boundaries of taste. More than anyone, Wilson defined the boundaries of the medium." The artist and characters sometimes take violence with a playful attitude, for example getting tired of fighting and agreeing to have sex instead of continuing a battle. In contrast to the many counterculture figures who moderated their more extreme tendencies and successfully assimilated into the mainstream of commercial culture, Wilson's work remained troubling to mainstream sensibilities and defiantly ill-mannered. Derived from a article in Publishers Weekly: In this bleak noir novel set in San Francisco, Nisbet etches the lives of two wretched misfits in acid prose. At 50-plus years of age, Mark "Pauley" Paulos has survived the horrifically abusive childhood trauma that forms the book's unforgettable prologue, along with untracked periods of jail and other misadventures, to achieve a kind of precarious stasis. Martin Seam, on the other hand, has little idea of who or what he is. Full of wants and needs and thoroughly amoral, he is willing to steal, cheat, scam or do anything merely to quiet those incessant desires. Unfortunately, Martin is as unsuccessful as he is unscrupulous. When these two collide in their separate orbits about the universe, it seems like a cosmic joke. If Elmore Leonard had created Pauley and Martin they would shine with a fine comic sheen. In Nisbet's hands they scratch, prickle, sweat and stink. Nisbet presents with wrenching effectiveness the fragile accommodations his characters have to make in order to survive in a hostile world they can never overcome and can keep at bay only for a time. This is more an exercise in Dostoyevskian angst than a proper mystery. The jacket by underground comix artist S. Clay Wilson perfectly fits the text.
