Description: Murder the Murderer: An Excursus on War from "The Air-Conditioned Nightmare" by Henry Miller Self-published by the author in 1944 (the year he moved to Big Sur, CA.). First edition. Softcover paperback chapbook. First edition. One of just 1000 copies. Signed by Henry Miller, and dated, 3/18/44. Inscribed to Rajagopal (Rajagopalacharya Desikacharya; 1900–1993) who was a significant figure in the Theosophical movement here in Ojai. This item was acquired directly from his estate. Includes Miller's own entreaty and correction of a misspelling in the title: "Please excuse the numerous typographical errors -- not my fault!" and an added "S" in "Excurus" Miller spent some of '44 hanging out in Ojai with Rajagopal, J. Krishnamurti, Aldous Huxley, and other philosophical personalities. Good to fair condition; the red wraps sunned, faded; paper acid-burn from wrap on title page; some yellowing to pages; staples torn from interior cover-page (easily repairable), otherwise tight; clean text.
