Description:
New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, (1967). First edition. Octavo, green cloth, top page edge stained salmon red, pp. 214. Dust jacket blurb reads: " This first novel by a young [African] American writer has the distinction of having been publihed in Paris, in a French translation, before its appearance in English. It has already been hailed abroad as the work of a remarkable writer, and described as a difficult but engaging book of poetic beauty, tragic and illuminating it its evocation of the ghetto noir". The main narrative which begins in Greenwich Village uses "stylized, ornate and even baroque language". Bumping to lower corners of the covers, one corner slightly bared, otherwise very good, in a price-clipped dust jacket, which is edge-worn along the top edge, with a tiny chip, small tears and some creasing. Despite these small flaws, a solid, clean, attractive copy offered with a mylar dust jacket protector..
