NARROW ROOMS By James Purdy – Hardcover

“Narrow Rooms” by James Purdy is a first edition hardcover book published in 1978 by Arbor House Pub Co and later by HarperCollins. This novel, considered a classic in Purdy’s work, features exquisitely surreal fiction populated by social outcasts in crisis, exploring themes of adolescent obsession and revenge. With transgressive renderings of gay life and sexually explicit material, the book is a passionate and sometimes bloody love story that has long been a cult favorite among literary critics and fans alike. It is in good readable condition with the dust sleeve. However, it is an ex-library book, so it has library stickers and card slot in it.
