Clarence Cooper – The Farm – First Edition 1968
£125.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Farm’, published by Anthony Blond in 1968. A very good book with some spotting to the page block – no inscriptions. In a very good unclipped wrapper with a little wear to the extremities, a minute chip to the foot of the spine and two creases to the front flap
‘The Farm’ by Clarence Cooper Jr. is a stark, unflinching novel about addiction, crime, and incarceration, set largely in the federal narcotics prison known as “the Farm” in Lexington, Kentucky. Based on Cooper’s own experiences, the book follows an African American addict navigating the brutal cycles of drug dependence and the criminal justice system. With raw, realistic prose, Cooper exposes the systemic failures and personal despair surrounding addiction, creating a powerful, haunting portrait of urban marginalisation and survival.
