"Hic Calix! Look that up in Latin, 'Here's the chalice,' and be sure there's wine in it": First Edition of Jack Kerouac's Vanity of Duluoz
First edition of this classic work by the author of On the Road. Octavo, original half cloth, pictorial endpapers. Near fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. An exceptional example, uncommon in this condition.
Vanity of Duluoz is a key volume in Jack Kerouac's lifework, the series of autobiographical novels he referred to as The Legend of Duluoz. With the same tender humor and intoxicating wordplay he brought to his masterpieces On the Road and The Dharma Bums, Kerouac takes his alter ego from the football fields of small-town New England to the playing fields and classrooms of Horace Mann and Columbia, out to sea on a merchant freighter plying the sub-infested waters of the North Atlantic during World War II, and back to New York, where his friends are the writers who would one day become known as the Beat generation and where he published his first novel.
