London: John Lehmann, 1948. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine-/Near Fine+. First Impression of "this quiet masterpiece." (Burgess). Crown 8vo: 256pp. Publisher's navy blue cloth, spine lettered in gold; illustrated dust jacket, priced 9s/6d, by Edward Bawden. About Fine (top edge lightly dust-soiled, spine lettering slightly dulled); Near Fine or better jacket (spine folds rubbed, two short closed tears mended on verso with clear tape, but front panel vibrant). Cronin & Hall 9. Burgess 99. Bliss, p. 189. "The bigger novels—Herzog, Henderson the Rain King, Augie March—are brilliant but a little shrill in comparison with this quiet masterpiece." (Burgess) Baumbach calls it an "exemplary nightmare novel in the Jamesian tradition of the well-made novel." (The Landscape of Nightmare: Studies in the Contemporary American Novel) Yet another example of the value to be found in the graphically superior designs of most UK editions of American authors's works. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
