Description: Very good clean throughout, lacks dust jacket. Minor handling wear only to boards, titles to spine slightly rubbed. Internally clean with no ownership details etc. Without advertisements to rear. Pylon is the story of a group of barnstormers whose lives are thoroughly unconventional. They live hand-to-mouth, always just a step or two ahead of destitution, and their interpersonal relationships are unorthodox and shocking by the standards of their society and times. They meet an overwrought and extremely emotional newspaperman in New Valois, who gets deeply involved with them, with tragic consequences. - wiki
