The Gasp
New York, Pocket Books, (June) 1974.
1 vol. (105 x 175 mm) of 254 p. and 1 f. In wrappers, with illustrated cover.
First American paperback edition.
The paperback edition appeared one year after the first edition, published in early 1973. At that time, the novel still existed only in English, and would not be published in French, under the title Charge d’âme, until three years later. Gary stated that he had written it in a highly slangy English “to escape… the cult of language…”
A fine copy, with an attractive cover illustration.
