First-ever new edition of a truly innovative but neglected novel, Ice Never F, by American poet Gil Orlovitz (1918-1973). Originally published in 1970 by Calder &amp; Boyars, it was written as the first installment in a trilogy of semiautobiographical experimental novels set primarily in Philadelphia, chronicling the life of protagonist Lee Emanuel during the early and mid-20th century. Despite being written first, it was its succesor, Milkbottle H, which was published first in 1967. The third installment, Will Frank Marry Mary?, has never been published.
