Berryman started writing it in 1970, and had completed all but the final section of the first draft when he died in January 1972. Even unfinished, even without the benefit of the intensive revisions and improvements he applied to all his work, it is still an extra-ordinarily powerful document. ***The main setting of the book consists of the corridors, bedrooms and lecture rooms of an institution; the central character is Dr. Alan Severance, surrounded by a cross-section of American life, housewives, intellectuals, businessmen, and an 'extremely bitter bearded poet'; all suffer scenes of humiliation, self-delusion and self-confrontation. In Severance's repeated and heroic efforts to climb out of the pit can be found not only Berryman's unique wit and verbal wizardry, but also a testament to the courage and strength of the human spirit. ***In a brief foreword, Saul Bellow, who knew Berryman well, paints a portrait of him which brings him vividly and sharply to life.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first UK edition in its original dustwrapper. ***Of interest to collectors of John Berryman and twentieth century American fiction.***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
