The History of the Ginger Man

The History of the Ginger Man

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1994. First Edition, First Printing. Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket.

With the Olympia Press' issuing of Donleavy's first and best-known work, The Ginger Man, an interminable, 21-year legal battle ensued between author and publisher.

The distinctive cadences of Donleavy's prose enliven this autobiographical account that meanders through the years leading up to the appearance of his book in print and subsequent altercation between publishers.

No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality.
