First Edition
Hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: price-clipped dj. First Edition. Octavo, 190 pages, pictorial tawny cloth, inked name of Michael Chapman on the endpaper, old cellophane tape at inside top of verso of dj. Issued as Jargon 43. Metcalf's second book. He worked in experimental writing, and his creations have been called "symphonic". He was a great-grandson of Herman Melville - about whom, possibly, he reveals some family lore here in the chapter on Melville and his children. "The Columbus - Melville parallel is presented with force and intensity." - Jay Leyda. A remarkable achievement.

Hardcover. Original Edition. Illustrated goldenrod cloth/boards. Orange/white/bw illustrated dj with black lettering. 190 pp. with decorative title page. First published in 1965, this remarkable novel is Paul Metcalf's purging of the burden of his relationship to Herman Melville (his great-grandfather), but it is much broader than that. In the extraordinary style of writing that is now Metcalf's signature, he collages multiple stories. Metcalf explores incidents in the life of Herman Melville, the influence of Columbus on Melville and Melville's use and conversion of the Columbus myth, the influence of Melville on his own life, and the story of Carl and Michael Mills, whose semi-fictional story provides the central structure of the book. The narrator is Michael Mills, a club-footed unfortunate, who holds an M.D. degree but who refuses to practice. It is to search out the reason for this refusal, and to come to terms with the memory of his monstrous older brother, Carl (whose life was terminated by the state before the novel opens), that Michael retreats to his attic, his books, his studies -- Columbus, Melville and others. - from GoodReads. VG-/Good+ clean and tight but with light shelf/age wear. Art school ex-lib. with usual marks. Boards a hint warped.
