McCLURE, Michael - The Adept (Typescript)

n.p. [@1970]. First Edition. Hardcover. Typescript of 175 photocopied pages with minor corrections in a black cloth binder of McClure's second and, so far, last novel, "a phantasmagorical adventure story of cocaine and murder." The inside front cover is SIGNED by McClure in block lettering. He's also written his San Francisco address and phone number. He has rather cryptically INSCRIBED it to someone whose name is whited out: "In friendship/for saving/Allen Ginsberg's/The Rise & Fall of America." In 1969 McClure began a collaboration with the legendary singer of the Doors, Jim Morrison, in writing a film script based on this then unpublished novel. The script, titled SAINT NICHOLAS, was completed after many nights of drinking but never published. A couple of pages with some edgewear at the beginning and a few more with a dark ink stain at the outer margin, but generally clean. The binding with expected wear. Very Good McClure gave his first poetry reading at the age of 22 at the legendary Six Gallery event in San Francisco in 1955, where Allen Ginsberg first read HOWL. He died in 2020.
