NY: Froge Publishing Company, [circa 1970s]. 195pp. Wraps, photo-illustrated to rear cover. Fine. Lively comic novel of New York, titled after the concluding line of Yeats' "From Oedipus At Colonus"; apparently the first published book by Bronx-born writer and educator John Ahern (1932-2020). Published under the uncommon later imprint of Gait Froge, long-time proprietor of the legendary English Book Shop in Paris, and a notable champion of the Beat literary movement; while in Paris, she helped to finance the publication of William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Gregory Corso, and Sinclair Beiles's Minutes To Go (1960), and also issued the first pressing of Burroughs's LP, Call Me Burroughs (1965). Of this novel, OCLC locates only a single holding, at Columbia. Cover design by F. Evans, with a photograph of Ahern to rear by Charles Rotmil.
