8vo., 342 pgs. A novel set in the waning days of WW 2 in Naples, Italy, where Italian, British, American and Neapolitan survivors of the war sought to establish themselves as the Germans were driven from a country they had conquered and a people they had controlled. This is a story, too, of gay life in Naples, and how it survived attacks from all sides in the tumultuous days of 1944. Burns, a legendary forerunner of the Beats, here pens his first novel, a landmark of gay literature, and now a great rarity. Condition of the book is MINT, with only a price clip of the jacket (has codes 2637 and 6571) to cite as a flaw. 5-7 edition code, the 2nd printing in 1947. Ranked with Mailer's Naked and the Dead as one of the 2 greatest WW2 books. Black cloth, flawless, looks like a recent issue, full gloss jacket and tight binding -- a superior copy ! Fine condition in fine (clipped) dust jacket. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2439
