[Signed] Prince, Richard and O’Brien Glenn. Human Nature (dub version). Limited Edition of 750 Copies. Hardcover in slipcase in very good condition—minor rubbing to slipcase. This copy is inscribed by O’Brien to journalist David Keeps, “for David, the only guy I ever let write jokes in my stuff (and it was worth it).”
The now-defunct but very much missed Los Angeles publisher Greybull Press produced this superb book, which combines O’Brien’s witty, urbane verse with Richard Prince’s dub drawings. As O’Brien admits, “poetry is a tough racket these days,” but he reels in the modern audience by infusing his poems with Warholian irony and pop culture references. Subjects include James Bond, heroin chic models, gossip, and much more. Full-page dub drawings by Richard Prince are interspersed throughout the book.
“Narcissism is never a worry if you scare yourself when you look in the mirror.”
--Glenn O’Brien
