8vo. Pp. [2], 3-312. Bound in blue cloth with seafoam green flourishes and lettering on front board and spine. Slight dust soiling to top edge. In the pictorial dust jacket with old tape repairs on the verso head and tail of spine. Price of $2.50 intact on front flap. A fixture in bibliographies of gay literature, Pyke's novel explores the gender dichotomies of the titular character, a "life of a spiritual hermaphrodite, where masculine and feminine are fighting for control" (dust jacket blurb).The striking Mac Harshberger dust jacket illustration conveys those competing impulses with exquisite art deco panache. Born in Tacoma, Washington, Frank Macoy Harshberger, Jr., was one of a few Washington State artists in a recent, superb Cascadia Art Museum (Edmonds, WA) exhibit, "the Lavender Palette." A previous retrospective, 1986, "Art Deco Americain," was held at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. Dust jacket now enclosed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. .
