Kromer, Tom

Waiting for Nothing

      Alfred Knopf, 1935. A Drifter's masterpiece from the Depression era. Orange boards with black lettering. Near fine in near fine price-clipped dustjacket. Rare indeed, with such a dignified appearance of this extremely scarce dustjacket. Trifle use to corners and toe and head of spine. Full back cover photograph of the author by John Bogle. Interior of book clean throughout. With its startling dedication page testimony "To Jolene-Who Turned Off The Gas". Only rivaled by Sylvia Plath.
