Snail, a novel by Richard Miller, as published in hardcover by Holt, Rinehart and Winston (New York City) in 1984. 

William S. Burroughs contributes a blurb to the rear cover of this novel: “Richard Miller’s SNAIL is a novel at once delirious and serious. Cast in the form of a traditional picaresque novel, a series of incredible adventures and misadventures, it addresses itself to basic themes of immortality, death, reincarnation, and the future of the species."

This copy was acquired from Jeffrey Brewer at Last Exit Books (Charlottesville, Virginia, US).
