"The Wild Party is a book-length Jazz Age narrative poem written by Joseph Moncure March. The poem was widely banned upon its 1928 publication first in Boston for having risqu� content: The violent story of a vaudeville dancer who throws a booze and sex-filled party. The poem was a success despite and perhaps in part due to the controversy. It tells the story of show people Queenie and her lover Burrs who live in a decadent style that March depicts as unique to Hollywood and who decide to have one of their parties complete with illegal bathtub gin and the couple's colorful eccentric and egocentric friends but the party unfolds with more tumultuous goings-on than planned."

Wild Party Drawings By Art Spiegelman
New York. 1994. Pantheon Books. 1st of This Illustrated Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. ISBN:0679424504. Illustrated by Art Spiegelman. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Art Spiegelman. Jacket design by Art Spiegelman and Louise Fili. FROM THE PUBLISHER - ART SPIEGELMAN�S sinister and witty black-and-white drawings give charged new life to Joseph Moncure March�s WILD PARTY a lost classic from 1928. The inventive and varied page designs offer perfect counterpoint to the staccato tempo of this hard-boiled jazz-age tragedy told in syncopated rhyming couplets. Here is a poem that can make even readers with no time for poetry stop dead in their tracks. Once read large shards of this story of one night of debauchery will become permanently lodged in the brain. When THE WILD PARTY was first published Louis Untermeyer declared: �It is repulsive and fascinating vicious and vivacious uncompromising unashamed. and unremittingly powerful. It is an amazing tour de force.�. inventory #20643 ISBN: 0679424504. hardcover

FIRST EDITION first printing the suppressed first state lacking the final two lines of verse on the last page. According to Spiegelman's agent Deborah Karl Pantheon finished publication of the book and sent out author's copies for review. Coming home on the train Karl noticed the mistake on the last page and informed Spiegelman whose initial reaction was to call for the entire run to be reprinted. Instead Pantheon floated the lines in to correct the error and save costs. This is presumably one of only a small handful likely to have been preserved of this first issue. <br/><br/> Pantheon hardcover books
