Description: Avon T429 1st Paperback Printing. 126 pages. Kerouac's exceptional novel about a heroin-racked, Mexico City prostitute.

"Tristessa" will seem so much more for those who care for Kerouac's work and the Beat Expression. Age-toned pages, light rubbing to covers, very clean, First printing.
