The Unfortunates by B.S Johnson : 1969 Hardback -complete

£175.00

27 sections; 20 cm; 1 box. Subjects: Johnson, B. S. (Bryan Stanley) 1933-1973. Experimental fiction.

A book in a box – an experimental novel – not exactly in the Burroughs/Gysin cut-up tradition but similar in that there is a beginning and end section and the 25 unbound sections/chapters in between can be read in any random order.

This also has a  similarity to Jim Morrison’s Lords : Notes of Vision which was published ( in limited run of 100) in the same year. Morrison’s notes on film.cinema could also be read in any order – like the chapters of this novel.

The 27 section are complete with sash. The Box appears unfaded on the spine (unlike most copies). No previous owner’s markings but light handling.
