Dead Fingers Talk
London: John Calder in association with Olympia Press, 1963. 1st Edition. Hardcover. First edition. 8vo, 215pp, signed by Burroughs and dated in 1997, the year of his death, on the title page. This 5th novel from Burroughs was experimental in that it combined sections from his earlier works including Naked Lunch, with new material to form sort a conglomeration of narrative. It wasn't republished until 2020 in a restored edition that highlighted the new material, sections not taken from earlier novels, which had always been a part of the original publication, but overlooked by many. An important and scarce work from the influential, Beat Generation writer. Near fine in gray cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Price-clipped jacket shows some rubbing to spine, wear at corners, and a small tear and corresponding wrinkle to upper edge near head of spine. Near Fine / Very Good. Item #4072
