My Life as a Man.

First edition of Roth's seventh novel. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by the author in the year of publication, "To Larry Kramer- my best to you- from the corner of 54th + 5th-Good luck with your play Philip Roth May 7, 1974." The recipient, Larry Kramer is an American playwright and novelist. He began his career rewriting scripts while working for Columbia Pictures, which led him to London where he worked with United Artists. There he wrote the screenplay for the 1969 film Women and Love, which earned an Academy Award nomination.

A nice association.
