About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Good. 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. 0809308886 . (no dust jacket) [bottom edges shelfworn to the point of some exposure of boards, spine somewhat turned; also has newly-mounted new pastedown and ffep, the latter fashioned so as to fold over the original ffep (still present), which bears labels from two literary agencies (Maxim Lieber, New York; and Phil Berg/Bert Allenberg Inc., Beverly Hills)]. The author's second (and last) novel, about a Cajun family in the Louisiana Delta country that salvages an outsized doorstep from the river, then sets about trying to procure a house of sufficient grandeur to match it, despite (or perhaps in defiance) of their own serious impoverishment. Reprinted in the "Lost American Fiction" series in 1979, with a new Afterword by Eudora Welty. .
