8vo. Original printed wrappers. First edition of this infamous first issue of Big Table founded after editors Irving Rosenthal and Paul Carroll resigned from The Chicago Review in protest to harsh criticisms of their printing portions of the then-unpublished novel Naked Lunch by William S. Burrough. This first issue of Big Table…, founded in the wake of this episode, was impounded by the U.S. Post Office. A court trial resulted in its favor, and the journal continued through another 5 issues. Rosenthal's novel Sheeper is a classic of the era, and one of the great minor novels of American literature. See Clay & Phillips, A Secret Location on the Lower East Side, p. 45. Slightly leaned, some pale staining to wrappers.

8vo. 88 pages. Printed wrappers. Containing chapter two of 'Naked Lunch.' This was the second appearance of any section of the novel in print, following the Spring issue of the journal. For those keeping track, the headline above the text contains the misprint "William C. Burroughs." "The 1958 appearance of a Naked Lunch excerpt… in the Chicago Review created a scandal that ended in the resignation of the magazine's two editors, Irving Rosenthal and Paul Carroll. The controversy was initiated when an editorial review by Chicago Daily News columnist Jack Mabley, appeared under the title 'Filthy Writing on the Midway.' Mabley objected to what he called "'obscene' writing in the University of Chicago's literary magazine. Published alongside Burroughs in the Chicago Review were Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and other young and unconventional writers of the period" (Columbia University exhibition). Rosenthal went on to write one of the great (woefully unheralded) novels of the era, 'Sheeper,' in which Burroughs and the Beats appear. Some light wear and toning at extremities, a few spots on cover, but a very good copy.

First edition, first printing On Christmas Day 1958, co-editors from the University of Chicago, Irving Rosenthal and Paul Carroll founded the highly influential Big Table. Rosenthal edited the premiere issue which we are offering here along with Issues No. 2 and No. 4. Only five issues in all and these three are offered here as…a set. The first issue published the then highly controversial "Naked Lunch" by Burroughs (in excerpts) and Jack Kerouac's "Old Angel Midnight" which were originally to be published in The Chicago Review. The US Post office impounded over 400 copies and refused to deliver the first issue because of what they called "obscenity and filthy contents". That decision was appealed by none other than Judge Julius Hoffman of the later Chicago Eight trial fame, reversing the initial decision and stating that Big Table was not obscene. Paul Carroll took over the helm and edited the next four issues from 1959 to 1960. Big Table published works by John Ashbery, Robert Creeley, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg ,LeRoi Jones, Denise Levertov andmany others. Legend has it Jack Kerouac gave the name "Big Table" to the editors. The issues are very good to near fine wraps with the usual toning of the acidic paper stock.
