Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. SIGNED BY JOHN GARDNER. 238 pages. Magazine paperback: H 27.75cm x L 21.25cm. Paper covers rubbed and soiled; fore-edge margin tear to rear cover; scuffing to spine paper; foldout white front cover retains original subscriber's worn mailing label which is partially placed over flowing blond hair of naked woman on a swing by George Lois (additional risqué color illustrations by Lois on pages 108-109 all in the pin-up illustration style popularized by Alberto Vargas). Initial leaves creased at top fore-edge corners; slight toning to some interior leaves; several fore-edge tears to pages 237-238. Binding is firm. Features contributions "Yo-Yo Power" by Abbie Hoffman (pages 106-107, 174, 176), "High, Wide, and Handsome" by Bruce Jay Friedman (pages 126, 170, 172, 174), "The Bombing of Joe Bonanno" by Gay Talese (pages 140-147, 152-153, 228, 234-238), and, most significantly "The Song of Grendel" by John Gardner (pages 138-139, 180, 182, 184, 186, 189-190, 194, 196) with the author's boldly written blue ink signature "John Gardner" at the top of page 139. Gardner's novel "Grendel" was published on August 12, 1971. Acquired from the estate of Dr. Curtis Carson Holloman Jr. (1939-1991) who served on the English Department faculty at Northwest Mississippi Junior College (now Northwest Mississippi Community College) in Senatobia, Mississippi and whose name and campus address are on the aforementioned mailing label. Holloman's impressive collection of twentieth century American first edition literature included many books signed at events held at the University of Mississippi in Oxford but, as an online search did not reveal any Gardner-attended Ole Miss lectures/symposia, the author's signature may have been obtained in nearby Memphis or New Orleans where Gardner events occurred in 1980.
