Hoffman, Michael The Buddy System
New York Holt, Rinehart & Winston (c.1971) 0-03-085994-6 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good+ dj Illustrated by (dj) Charles Raymond
[trace of exterior wear to book; jacket folded onto book slightly off-center, wrinkling at top of rear flap, no tears or chips]. "Nobody but Buddy Solloway, the disaffected, flip, ironic, and blackly funny hero of Michael Hoffman's first novel, could cram so much into one summer -- the summer between high school and college. He manages to get into trouble with the black gang that hangs around the neighborhood drugstore where he works; to have a fling with a friend's mother who then kills herslef; and, when he rejects his parents and their middle-class lives, to fall completely out of the net of safety. During all this Buddy is dating his sister's best friend and this leads to a sexual encounter that, less deftly handled, would seem shocking, even to glutted readers today."
