Correctly priced at 12s. 6d.net to the lower front flap. The Miguel Covarrubias wrapper artwork looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. Wonderful B/W frontispiece and drawings through by Covarrubias who was a Mexican painter, caricaturist, illustrator, ethnologist and art historian.His style was highly influential in America, especially in the 1920s and 1930s, and his artwork and caricatures of influential politicians and artists were featured on the covers of 'The New Yorker' and 'Vanity Fair'. Zora Neale Hurston is considered one of the pre-eminent writers of twentieth-century African-American literature.Hurston was closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance and has influenced such writers as Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, Gayle Jones, Alice Walker, and Toni Cade Bambara.In 1975, Ms. Magazine published Alice Walker's essay, "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston" reviving interest in the author. Hurston's four novels and two books of folklore resulted from extensive anthropological research and have proven invaluable sources on the oral cultures of African America.The considerably scarcer edition than the US counterpart which precedes by one year.Ashtonrarebooks welcomes direct contact.

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.
