O'HARA, FRANK.

Meditations in an Emergency.

NY Grove Press (1957) First edition of O'Hara's second, and arguably his best-known book. One of 75copies signed by O'Hara. Presentation copy, inscribed by O'Hara on front endpaper to Morris Golde: "For Morris, from one islander to another". The reference is to Fire Island, where Golde had a summer beach house, and where O'Hara composed "For James Dean", after learning of Dean's death in 1955. In an ironic twist of fate, it was at this same location where, in 1966, O'Hara was struck by a dune buggy and killed. A fine copy in green cloth, the spine of which is far less toned than is usually encountered, housed in publisher's slipcase which shows light wear and toning.
