Description: Signed limited edition, number 195 of 210 copies signed by Bukowski on the limitation page. A fine copy in near fine dust jacket. White jacket maintaining bright purple and red text, toning to spine. Bound in yellow paper boards with purple backstrip, paper label to spine, and orange fly leaves. This shockingly violent short story focuses on a middle aged couple, married for decades, and the aftermath of the husband's affair. In typical Bukowski style, the author exaggerates the narrative action for humorous effect: furious at the husband's betrayal five years prior the wife shoots her husband multiple times; when they police arrive they joke about domestic strife and all the while the other woman fantasizes about someone else. Krumhansl 61. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.
