Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First American/Canadian edition. 184pp. Illustrated wraps. Textblock toned, light edgewear; better than very good. Half-title signed and inscribed by Clement and Suzanne Mallouk. Doubly inscribed presentation copy of this memoir detailing in a series of prose vignettes the relationship between artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) and his muse and on-again-off-again lover Suzanne Mallouk (b. 1960). This copy signed and inscribed by both Clement and Mallouk in "NYC 2001" to "Jamie," whom Mallouk thanks for "all your support in helping this book come into being." We thus suspect that the recipient was Jamie Byng, CEO and publisher of Cannongate Books, who was responsible for establishing Cannongate's Payback Press imprint; likely presented to him on the occasion of the book's American debut. Inscribed by Author(s).

First U.K. Edition. First Impression, a trade paperback original. Octavo (19.5cm); original pictorial card wrappers; xii,237,[7]pp. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page to Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks: "Miss Brooks - Forgive the N. word, this was written a long time ago. (But I'd say it again) / Gil Scott-Heron (A Chicago Native) 4/97." Trivial wear to extremities, hint of foxing to text edges; very Near Fine. UK edition of Scott-Heron's second novel, originally published by Dial Press in 1972. Inspired largely by his own experiences as a student during the late 1960s-early 1970s, the book is a satirical look at campus life during that turbulent era. "Earl Thomas, student body president at Sutton University, is in a difficult position: struggling with the fact that even a historically black college could be part of a system that still priviliges whites, he's also threatened by his fellow students, members of the radical activist group MJUMBE. Claiming the time has come for revolution, not reform, the leaders of MJUMBE are poised not only to bring Earl down personally, but also to instigate large scale acts of violence" (from the Grove/Atlantic reissue). This copy bears a particularly poignant inscription to fellow Chicago poet Gwendolyn Brooks, whose involvement in the Black Arts Movement was a key influence on Scott-Heron's work. Brooks's regard for Scott-Heron is evident in her poem titled "Gil Scott-Heron": "Chance-taker Emotion voyager Street-strutter Contemporary Spirit Untamed Proud Poet Rough Healer He is His" An exceedingly good association copy of a key title. Scott-Heron's autograph material has always been uncommon; this is only the third inscribed book we have seen over many years, with no signed or inscribed books appearing in the auction record. BLOCKSON 5986 (for the Dial Press edition). Signed.
