First edition, Number 316 of 600 copies signed by the author. 1 vols. 8vo. One of Roth's most successful novels, relating the angst-ridden auto-erotic adventures of Alexander Portnoy. "This poignant wildly funny novel can be seen as part and parcel of the cultural ferment and artistic experimentation which characterized 1969, the tumultuous year of its publication. At the time, the book's obscenity and perceived anti-Semitism created outrage, excitement and tremendous sales. the book endures because of vivid characterizations, perfect pitch capture of vernacular speech, and the pathos of its hero's predicament" (Books of the Century, 32). Original natural linen lettered in gilt. Fine in like dust jacket and red slipcase as issued First edition, Number 316 of 600 copies signed by the author.
