Third printing. Hardback in dust jacket. Black top-stain. 410pp. Initials and date to ffe. Off-setting from newspaper clipping to opening page. Otherwise a fine copy. *** John Rechy (born March 10, 1931) is among the pioneers of modern LGBT literature. City of Night follows a young man as he travels across the country while working as a hustler. It inspired film maker Gus van Sant to write the screenplay for My Own Private Idaho and Jim Morrison apparently references the book in the The Doors song L.A. Woman.
