Contact seller5-star sellerPaperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. A darkly comic, deliberately offensive satire following Nemiroff, a failed camp counselor whose life and libido collapse into absurdity. Klane uses grotesque humor and exaggerated sexual frustration to lampoon post-war American morality, repression, and the self-importance of intellectu…als. The novel's tagline - "You'll curse, you'll cry, you may even get a bit ill. But you're certain to laugh." - captures its mix of vulgarity and existential farce. The book became a cult item for its shock humor, anti-hero narrative, and camp-culture parody, later influencing Klane's screenwriting tone in Where's Poppa and Thank God It's Friday. THIS copy has some fairly heavy yellowing due to acidic paper and a few sharpie marks on, and inside the cover, and 1st page (see photos). The sticker shown on the cover actually fell off shortly after I took the pic, leaving just a residue mark. Book is solid and tight with NO water damage. Paperback edition. 143 pages. Dimensions: 4.25" by 7". Published by Pocket Books, New York Copyright 1968, 4th printing, 1970. Multi-Color binding. Cover defect(s): Moderate corner/edge damage. Page defect(s): Some writing. Some page yellowing. 0.5 Pound Media Shipping Rate with Multiple Product Orders. (Min Shipping Rate 1 Pound per Order). Order More and SAVE! Genre(s): / Adult / Humor / English. (B003).

Cover has a spot of a removed sticker. looking book. 143 pages. Summary -… From back of book: Mr. Robert Klane regrets to annouce THE HORSE IS DEAD. It is not difficult to understand why he regrets it, since The Horse Is Dead is by all odds the bluntest, nastiest, most vulgar, most vicious, most sado-masochistic work of fiction to come along in some time. "Robert Klane is one of the funniest writers to appear on the scene since Max Shulman penned Barefoot Boy with Cheek.He is also probably one of the most hilariously bawdy authors since Joseph Heller mad ribald fund of the Army in Catch-22, in fact, if one were to characterize Klane, one would have to say that he is a Max Shulman spiked heavily with the Marquis de Sade"-Jim Bishop, Winston-Salem Journal- Sentinel. Jack Benny says: "undoubtedly the funniest book I've ever read".
