First Edition. The true first edition in a small print run, 1,000 copies. SIGNED COPY. This is a gem of black humor and intrigue about a paperback crime novelist less politely known as "slasher trash" who takes over the English department of La Siberia Tech, a marginal school at best on the Rio Grande River. He teaches a new course centering on The Wild Bunch of Modern Literature -- a course he concots to feature crime novelists who are personal friends of his--which causes consternation among the older faculty and then a seemingly inexplicable murder.

First printing. One of the books which came out of his ten years living in El Paso, Texas, where he began writing crime fiction. It was still too literary to garner a wide readership, but he loved it, and he always said that's the reason he wrote: to satisfy himself. This features a teacher in a university on the border between Mexico and Texas, who is also the author of paperback crime novels known as "slasher" novels. SIGNED on the title page. 333 pp. Fine in a fine dust jacket (as new.)
