Volume 23 - 1st printing. By Seth. Palookaville 23 marks the culmination of twenty years of serialization: here, Clyde Fans comes to a conclusion. In this final chapter, we return to Simon Matchcard and the year 1957, exactly where we left off at the end of the first Clyde Fans volume. After his disastrous attempt at sales in the city of Dominion, we witness the out of body experience and ecstatic "vision" that sets Simon on his path of lonely isolation in the years to come. But of course that's not all; the next installment in Seth's memoir, Nothing Lasts, follows him from late childhood to his high school years, from innocent crushes to adolescent brooding, all told with what has become Seth's signature anecdotal approach to autobiography. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 88 pages, PC/PB&W. NOTE: For Vol. 1-19 see Palooka Ville (1991). Cover price $22.95.
