Norton & Company, [1963]. First American Edition Stated. Octavo; publisher's boards in white pictorial price-clipped dust jacket designed by Larry Lurin; [4],285pp. Dust jacket and boards a bit worn, jacket lightly dusty and toned along margins, spine cocked, long vertical strip of soil to upper board, contemporary ownership signature to front free endpaper, else a Very Good and sound copy overall. Dystopian parable published on the heels of the author's wildly popular and influential "A Clockwork Orange." While the earlier novel addressed adolescent violence through the medium of an invented argot, "The Wanting Seed" turns to the less stimulating spread of overpopulation. One reviewer opined, "His starting pace is fast and pointed, but this slows to a crawl when wit becomes predictable silliness and when his characters go from hungry flesh to cardboard" (Kirkus Reviews).
