Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. Bookstore stamp present to the FFEP. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This is a farcical, often overlooked late 60's tragi-comic masterpiece, capturing the anti-corporate mainstream view of youth in those days, although its narrator and main character Mott (the Hoople, or Fool) is a wayward young man knowing not where he wants to go or be in the world. A Jewish gambler looking for his way in the world, with an apparently autistic twin brother institutionalized and dead parents (a father who was an anarchist), a skeptic of life, not religious, not a war supporter or protester, he chooses not to go to war in Vietnam, spending a year and a half in prison, then, when he gets out, finding his rich girlfriend and accepting a job with his soon to be wife's father's retail empire which, as you might figure, does not end up well. He may be a hoople, but a corporate cog he is not. But what does one do to have a meaningful life. He may be a hoople, but he has a kind heart and stands up for what he believes. Follow Mott in this bawdy, comic masterpiece, and find out.
