Description
GENKA (Nicolas). *L'Épi monstre*. Paris, René Julliard, 1962. In-8, paperback, uncut. First edition.
One of 20 copies printed on ‘pur fil du Marais’, the only high-quality paper.
Autograph dedication signed by the author: To Paulie and Jeanne Figarol, I’ve finally managed to track one down – what a haul! I hope you won’t be too ‘spontaneous’ about this (monster ear of corn), which is impossible to find, and which I hope Maurice Garçon will restore to its rightful place. With my affection and best wishes for happiness. See you soon, your Nicolas.
A lovely dedication to two of Nicolas Genka’s close friends, bearing witness to the support given to the author during the turbulent publication of his first novel, which was swiftly banned and defended in particular by Maurice Garçon.
A few faint foxing spots and small ink stains on the edge.
From the Christophe d’Astier library (2009, no. 153).
