Title: The Last Words of Dutch Schultz. Publisher: The Viking Press - New York. Description: An attractive and near fine Inscribed copy of William S. Burroughs March of 1975 1st Edition.

The Last Words of Dutch Schultz is a gruesome, hallucinatory exposition of the dying words of the infamous Prohibition mobster. Burroughs has created his own fantasy screen play of Schultz's last words, which were delivered during a delirium brought on by a gunshot wound he received in an assassination attempt in New Jersey on October 23, 1935. This is the first edition with a wonderful inscription by Burroughs on the half-title page: For Pat Irish from Arthur Flegenheimer - The Dutchman - William S. 296 pages - The rear board is just slightly cocked. Overall, a very collectible inscribed, signed and dated copy of the Last Words of Dutch Schultz from the author who influenced popular culture and literature like no other during the Beat Generation.
