New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. "An Arab and a Jew open a restaurant together across from the United Nations....it sounds like the beginning of an ethnic joke, but it's the axis around which spins the long-awaited new Tom Robbins novel, a gutsy, fun-loving, and alarmingly provocative book in which a bean can philosophizes, a dessert spoon mystifies, a young waitress takes on the New York art world, and a rowdy, redneck welder discovers the lost god of Palestine- while all the illusions that obscure humanity's view of the true universe are falling away, one by one, like Salome's veils." (from front flap) The best-selling, now classic novel by the beloved American author Tom Robbins, at the pinnacle of Gonzo-countercultural-ultimately unclassifiable hallucinatory literature. Hardcover in unclipped dust jacket, first edition published during May 1990, first printing as indicated by number sequence on copyright page. A canonical collectible in the Robbins oeuvre, in exceptionally very fine condition: book with only a tiny amount of rubbing at edges & corners of front, back covers & spine; otherwise substantially mint inside & out. Dust jacket very fine with only a bit of sparse, light spotting to front, back covers & spine; a few tiny bumps at edges & corners of same; very small creases at/ near upper spine edge & corners; slight sunning at spine; light browning at margins of flaps; previous seller's price sticker affixed to publisher's at lower back cover. Very Fine / Very fine. [Item #3710]
