First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fair Only. Stated First Printing. Octavo. Green cloth binding over blue-gray boards with black, yellow and white arrow design to front. Rubbing, soiling, some spotting to extremities. Spine lean. Reading copy ONLY of this classic mid-sixties narrative of late Beat-ish artistic culture. This copy is not much to look at-- it's been read and re-read, laid on the floor, sat upon, supported furniture, and solely responsible for converting a would-be humanoid automaton into a card-carrying resistance-monger who "lives her life resisting the dominant paradigms!" This copy of farinaskriptchure has done its work! The binding is stained and soiled and separating. I would call it in fair condition, at best, just fine as a reader's copy, but it sure won't look pretty on the shelf. Understand. Farina was a handsome folksinger-writer of Cuban-Irish descent, who paired up in life and music with Mimi (Baez) Farina, to produce several of the most lovely, and at times haunting melodies of the era. Their vocal harmonies, augmented by combination of dulcimer and guitar were, powerfully evocative, even at times transcendental.

Their vocal harmonies, augmented by combination of dulcimer and guitar were, powerfully evocative, even at times transcendental. At age 29, Farnia tragically died in a motorcycle accident two days after his book was published. At Cornell, he became close friends with Thomas Pynchon, David Shetzline and Peter Yarrow (later of Peter Paul and Mary fame). ".Pynchon, who later dedicated his book Gravity's Rainbow (1973) to Fariña, described Fariña's novel as 'coming on like the Hallelujah Chorus done by 200 kazoo players with perfect pitch. hilarious, chilling, sexy, profound, maniacal, beautiful, and outrageous all at the same time.'

FirstÂedition of the author and songwriterâs first novel, warmly praised by his friend Thomas Pynchon; the only novel published in Fariñaâs lifetime, as he tragically died in a motorcycle accident two days after its publication. Octavo, original half green cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author in the month of publication with a drawing of a flower on the front free endpaper, "for Virginia -Richard Farina, April 1966." The recipient, Virginia Freeman was a folk art dealer, who lived in California in the 1960s and later opened the Virginia Freeman Art Gallery in Destin, Florida. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Laid in are two articles about the book, one from the April 27, 1966 issue of the Carmel Valley Outlook advertising the release party of the book at the Thunderbird Shop, and the other an obituary of Farina by Stan Cloud. Exceptionally rare signed and inscribed. Richard Farinaâs close friend Thomas Pynchon enthusiastically endorsed this, his first and only published novel: âItâs been a while since Iâve read anything quite so groovy, quite such a joy from beginning to end.

FirstÂedition of the author and songwriterâs first novel, warmly praised by his friend Thomas Pynchon; the only novel published in Fariñaâs lifetime, as he tragically died in a motorcycle accident two days after its publication. Octavo, original half green cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "G - Recognize any of these events. We had fun. Dick." The likely recipient, Richard Gillespie, was a close personal friend and colleague of both Richard Fariña and Thomas Pynchon at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The three shared the same residence and Gillespie and Pynchon attended a course together entirely dedicated to James Joyce's Ulysses (Schaub, Playing Bridge with Thomas Pynchon). The inscription in red pencil was likely made prior to Fariña's book signing at the Thunderbird book store in Carmel, California on April 30th 1966 (the few copies he signed there were done in ink) whereafter, later that same day and only two days after the novel's publication, he tragically died in a motorcycle accident. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Eric Von Schmidt. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. Exceptionally rare, with no other signed copies traced in auction records; a 1960s American counter-culture classic signed only days prior to Fariñaâs tragic death.
