Women and Men, Joseph McElroy
First edition, first printing of McElroy's sixth novel, a postmodern classic whose size and complexity have led to comparisons with Ulysses, The Recognitions and Gravity's Rainbow.
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1987. Publisher's original quarter white cloth over grey boards, spine titled in black; pp. (xii), 1192, [5]. A very good or better copy in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket. Binding remains sturdy with the expected concavity to spine, light shelfwear to boards. Jacket shows just a touch of wear and light toning, very faint strip of offsetting to back panel, protected in archival mylar. A nice copy.
