Condition & notes
In good condition in acceptable original glassine wrapper. Black-and-white geometric patterned boards have light bumping, scuffing and aging to edges. Binding tight. Light foxing to edges of text block and end papers with heavier foxing along top edge of text block. Otherwise pages are unmarked with occasional light spotting and soiling. Original clear glassine wrapper is present, though chipped, torn, and age-toned, as is typical for this fragile wrapper. NOT Ex-Library.Written in 1926, Thomas Onetwo is Ernest M. Robson's experiment in fiction, a satirical prose fantasy blending advertising motifs and literary parody. Frequently compared to Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark, the work humorously follows Thomas Onetwo's quest to become President of the United States, continually interrupted by references to Mrs. Baker's pickles. The narrative anticipates elements of Pop Art and experimental literature of the 1960s. Illustrated throughout with surreal drawings by Ken Friedman, associated with the Fluxus movement.
