King, Alexander, — Is There a Life after Birth?.

NY, Simon & Schuster, 1963. 1st ptg. VG in G DJ. Autobiography of last unself-conscious nonconformist. Exuberant flow of wit, matchless storytelling as King recalls. his first love, how he smuggled chorus girls out of a Boston hotel, memories of Alexander woollcott, Frank Crowninshield etc., looks into the mystique of Jewish humor, tells surrealist stories of his fellow patients at the Lexington Federal narcotics hospital, and how he happened to bake the biggest apple pie in the world. DJ edge wear & tanning, price clipped.
