The dustjacket is unclipped (priced $4.50) with a shade of toning to spine; light edge wear; Near Fine. Author's first book: "The Benefactor is about a European man who looks back on his sixty-plus years and on such surrealistic adventures as selling his mistress to an Arab merchant. Despite the brilliance of isolated perceptions, the work as a whole lacks the passionate conviction of those writers (Djuna Barnes, Dostoevsky, Nietzche) who influenced it. For many readers, the work requires an interpreter to give it meaning." MAINIERO, American Women Writers, vol. 4, p.128.

Spine slightly cocked; gilt dulled; boards well rubbed and soiled; corners bumped, heel/crown of spine chipped. Minor foxing and soiling throughout interior; occasional marginalia. Very Good only.
