Second Coming Vol. 10, No. 1 -- First Appearance Short Story “East Hollywood: The New Paris” (1981)

Published in 1981, Second Coming Vol. 10, No. 1, featured the first appearance of the Bukowski short story:

“East Hollywood: The New Paris”.

The story would not be published again for 29 years until it was included in “Absence of the Hero” (2010).

Second Coming Press was a San Francisco-based small press founded by A. D. Winans that was in existence from 1972 to 1989. Bukowski would appear in 10 editions of Second Coming between 1972 and 1986, including a Special Charles Bukowski Issue in 1974.

This copy is in Very Good ++ condition with some inevitable wear to the white covers and a large bump to the lower right corner impacting several page.

All in all, a nice copy of this elusive issue in a larger-than-normal format.
