Binding sound, Clean and unmarked with the exception of a paraphrase of a quotation by Edward Wallis Hoch written on the front endpaper: " There is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us...". An odd tale admixing a bit of spiritualism and the occult in a nevel set in pre-Depression Era New York City. The lives and careers of two Wall Street investment banker partners become tumultuous after one of them encounters a doctor who promises to return his youthfulness through a series of therapeutic treatments with various colored light rays and hypnosis. The doctor is assisted by a capable but mysterious nurse and a Negro assistant whose skin color was transformed from black to white. The result is not quite the chakra tune-up he was expecting. By the author of "The Pointed Tower", "The Night Watchman and Other Poems", "Eat and Grow Thin", "The Scarlet Iris" and others. #1959.
