Signed Publicity Kit.
Polish-born American author of such novels as "The Painted Bird" and "Being There"; escaping to the U.S. in 1957 and supposedly learning English in six months, his books were all written in English, and rumors of them having been ghostwritten haunted him for years; he died from self-inflicted wounds. Signed publicity kit, 9" X 12", n.p., May 1979. Very good. Glossy heavy stock folder, the front of which reproduces the dust jacket cover of Kosinski's book "Passion Play," boldly inscribed "For Kelby, / cordially / Jerzy Kosinski / May 79." Inside the folder is a 5" X 7" publicity portrait and several press releases -- biographical statement, interview, reviewers' comments, etc. An uncommon autograph, and unusual in this form.
