The Process.

[ASSOCIATES.] GYSIN, Brion.

Published by London Jonathan Cape, 1970

First UK edition, first impression, author's presentation copy; 8vo; binding flaw to pp.331-2 and pp.345-6 (all text there but read with some difficulty); publisher's black boards, titles to spine gilt, grey topstain, with the pictorial dust jacket designed by the Moroccan artist Hamri; a near-fine copy in the mildly sunned dust jacket. With the author's signed presentation inscription to the front free endpaper, 'For Justin Wintle Yours in present time Brion Gysin'. The recipient is a journalist, editor and writer of travel books. Gysin's novel is itself a work about the Journey, set mostly in Saharan Africa the desert, with which Gysin was of course deeply connected, serves as a microcosm of the world in general. The author, perhaps best known for his development of the cut-up method of composition utilised by William Burroughs and later David Bowie, was also a considerable graphic artist. This novel is rarely found as here in presentation state, indeed we have not previously handled an example. Seller Inventory # 105190
