(DELL Books #1561; March 1969; 1st paperback Ed 1st Printing; 156 Pages; ** Frank's first novel, an unjustly neglected classic of urban alienation and the pathology of loneliness. ** The Turned on novel by Jeffery Frank, Soon to be a Major Movie (NOT sure the Movie was ever made; Possibly it has a different Title); ** Kirkus review; Bartholomew is a twenty-five year old midwesterner transplanted to "the city".i.e. New York, where he undergoes a strange mutation. An insecure drifter, dreamer, he takes an apartment and wanders the streets in search of an entree to the Beautiful People. We meet him after about two months and he hasn't met anyone long enough to be able to establish the most meager conversation. He's lonely and it's going to get worse as we view his abortive attempts to make contact. In fact he's desperate as he frequents empty movie houses, cheap, cold bars, joins a "mixer" club whose members avoid him, visits museums, tiptoes around his apartment so his neighbors won't know he's in with no place to go on a long Saturday night. He does get solicited by Client, a colored pimp and spends $20.00 on a prostitute but then they both disappear. He finally forces himself on a girl who rejects him.finally runs. Coincidentally she lives in his building and abashed and ashamed he tries to find a new place. But the superintendents sense something about him.the kind that "gives trouble." And he finds himself self-consciously, self-admittedly "a Creep." A portrait executed with precision. And you'll feel you've met him.somewhere. ** RARE TITLE; >> Creasing to covers mostly around edges; Store Stamp on inside back cover;wear to paper spine; Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Hardcover with DJ. Blue cloth over boards, with white lettering on the spine and a black eye on the front cover. This copy has a small stain (the size of a quarter) on the bottom corner where moisture has bleached the blue cloth & a corresponding stain on the rear cover 2.5 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. Both of these moisture stains are visible on the inside of the boards as well. It's an unfortunate flaw in this scarce title. Price without the damage would be more than twice what we're asking for it here. Binding tight, pages clean. DJ is in good shape. Dated 1968 and stated first edition. Nice inscription on the front free endpaper to a colleague dated 1980, and making humorous reference to the fact that the recipient bought a used copy instead of a new copy. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that it's an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book.
