AKST, DANIEL St. Burl's Obituary [*Signed*]
Denver/Aspen: Macmurray & Beck, (c.1996). First Edition. Hardcover. [the slightest hint of a turned spine, otherwise a clean, apparently unread copy; jacket shows just a trace of handling wear]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the title page. Comic novel about a 300-pound writer of newspaper obituaries, who stumbles one night into a gangland slaying, in the aftermath of which "his life of moral virtue and culinary vice is turned upside down." The book (it sez here) is "a genuine love story, a real thriller, a cheeky meditation on American homesickness, and a saucy allegory on the state of modern manhood ... a rollicking burlesque on death, resurrection, and dinner." Signed by Author. Fine in Near Fine dj .
