E-290: Doubleday Doran. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1945. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Doubleday, Doran, Garden City, New York, 1945. 249 pgs. Signed and inscribed by Chester Himes to Hall Johnson. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (stain present to the fore edge of the front panel of the DJ). Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This story of a man living every day in fear of his life for simply being black is as powerful today as it was when it was first published in 1947. The novel takes place in the space of four days in the life of Bob Jones, a black man who is constantly plagued by the effects of racism. Living in a society that is drenched in race consciousness has no doubt taken a toll on the way Jones behaves, thinks, and feels, especially when, at the end of his story, he is accused of a brutal crime he did not commit. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 249 pages; Signed by Author .
