Metropolitan Life
Lebowitz, Fran. Fawcett Crest, 1978 (1st American Paperback Ed.). Softbound. Author photo by John Bean. Another incredible cover design by Neil Stuart—this one cheekily embracing deco excess—that would go on to gain an iconic status equal to that of the book's author. 'To a base of Huck Finn,' blurbs John Leonard of the eternally acerbic Lebowitz, 'add some Lenny Bruce and Oscar Wilde, a dash of cab driver, an assortment of puns, minced jargon, and top it off with smarty pants. Serve without whine.'
Former library book with remainder marks to fore-edge and stamps to inside front cover and first (promotional) leaf. Interior is else clean and unmarked. Some areas of light cosmetic creasing to spine and covers. 222 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
