PIEYRE De MANDIARGUES, Andre. La Motocyclette.

(Paris): Gallimard, 1963. First edition. Softcover. 20.7cm by 14.4cm. 224 pages. A celebrated erotic and surrealist novel following the journey of Rebecca across France and Germany on her Harley-Davidson to reunite with her lover. One of Mandiargues’ best-known works, later adapted by Jack Cardiff as The Girl on a Motorcycle (1968), starring Marianne Faithfull and Alain Delon. A very good copy in printed wrappers, partially uncut, with the scarce later added photo-illustrated dust jacket.
