About This Item
Simon and Schuster, Inc, 1976. First Edition. Trade Paperback. 357 pages typed on recto only. First edition (first printing) of corrected typescript. A fine copy in custom black cloth clamshell box. With holograph signed typed letter from Dan Green of Simon & Schuster, Inc.: 'April 16, 1976, Mr. Digby Diehl, Los Angeles Times, Times-Mirror Square, Los Angeles, California. Dear Digby, Here is the manuscript you refused to sclepp around New York, meaning you are the only person to date who hasn't done a veritable zippedy do dah dance to be the first on their block to read Francine du Plessix Gray's first novel LOVERS AND TYRANTS. The advance build-up is merited, I myself think it is the best novel we've ever published, a book so overwhelmingly readable, wonderful, funny, hurting, moving, devastating that is to say it begins like Mary McCarthy, is like an American Proust and a feminine Portnoy's Complaint is simply to misrepresent by understating its virtues...(signed) Dan.' Clamshell box is mildly scuffed.
