Description
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1981. FIRST EDITION. Blue printed dust jacket in perfect condition. Inscribed by the author on the title: “For Martha, Laugh, and the world will always laugh with you—Qué no?” The signature features a small doodle. An excellent copy from the collection of Martha Sattler, renowned West Coast bibliophile and patron of alternative authors. First edition of this visionary novel about the dangers of capitalism and consumerism. Set in a hypothetical Hispanic community at the end of the 1970s, it shines a microcosmic lens on American society in the post-hippie era, where drugs, money, and power displaced love, freedom, and tolerance. The final installment in Nichols’ New Mexico trilogy, this powerful narrative has remained relevant throughout the last four decades.
