Nocturnes for the King of Naples

White, Edmund. Penguin Books, 1980. Softbound. Cover design by Neil Stuart. This Penguin Book's fallen-angel cover image was created by Mel Odom, who has a background as an erotic illustrator for magazines like Blueboy, Viva, and Playboy. White later returned the ekphrastic favor when he wrote in the introduction to the artist's 1984 art monograph, Dreamers, 'In Mel Odom's world the perverse has become at last a candid pleasure . . . a vision of utopia.'
Spine is uncreased, but has some sunning and a very subtle lean. Clean, unmarked interior. Toning to the inside covers. Moderate edge-wear. 148 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
