New Directions, NY, 1957. 1st edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. "As prolific as he was unclassifiable, James Purdy was considered one of the greatest - and most under appreciated - writers in America in the latter half of the twentieth century. ...Purdy's vast body of work has heretofore been relegated to the avant-garde fringes of the American literary mainstream. His unique form and variety of style made the Ohio-born Purdy impossible to categorize in standard terms, though his unique, mercurial talent garnered him a following of loyal readers and made him_in the words of Susan Sontag - 'one of the half dozen or so living American writers worth taking seriously." [Pub. Info] Eleven stories plus a novella. Owner's name. Slight chipping and creasing to dust jacket. There is a protective mylar cover. 1ST EDITION.
