“REAL COURAGE IS RISKING ONE’S CLICHÉS”: FIRST EDITION OF TOM ROBBINS’ FIRST NOVEL, ANOTHER ROADSIDE ATTRACTION
ROBBINS, Tom. Another Roadside Attraction. Garden City: Doubleday, 1971. Octavo, original half green cloth, original dust jacket.
First edition of Robbins’ first novel, a free-wheeling and provocative celebration of “life on the fringes” in the 1960s.
Robbins' first novel, the joyously eccentric and satirical story of what happens when Jesus' mummified corpse is stolen from the Vatican, "epitomizes life on the fringes of society during the 1960s" (Hoyser & Stookey, Tom Robbins: A Critical Companion, 43).
Book about-fine with light rubbing to spine ends. Dust jacket lightly rubbed with nick to spine foot, minor color restoration to spine head. An excellent copy.
