Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Illustrations by Julie Maas. Octavo. 152pp. Tan printed wrappers. Fine in very near fine dust jacket with a striking hand-rubbed block print by Maas. Also present is an unprinted, semi-transparent parchment dust jacket with significant chips. Inscribed on the front panel of the parchment overjacket by Gerald and Maas to African-American artist Jacob Lawrence: "To Jacob Lawrence, from John Bart Gerald & Julie Mass July 4, 1984." Despite the damage to the parchment, the inscription is clean and unaffected. Gerald was an activist, novelist, poet and publisher, who published both his own work and "suppressed works by others". Gerald and Maas also "published the Convention against Genocide with supporting U.N. texts when it fell out of print at the United Nations in 1989" (per the publisher's statement). A poetic novel about a young man's search for meaning.
