Description:
Chatto & Windus, London, 1934. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. The first English-language edition. 8vo. 295pp. Brown cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt decoration. Cloth a little spotted and with just a trace of wear to several extremities. A touch of spotting to the endpapers and browning to a blank preliminary and concluding leaf, and the publisher's top edge stain just a little patchy. Really quite a nice, crisp copy, lacking the uncommon dust wrapper. The basis for John Huston's magnificent Bogart movie, this Creighton translation precedes Traven's own translation which he produced for the American issue (Knopf, 1935 - the author is on record stating his preference for this version)..

Description:
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some gentle toning to the pages and light edge-wear. Vanguard feminist publishing house Daughters, Inc. is best known for releasing the first edition of Rita Mae Brown's Rubyfruit Jungle in 1973, the same year it published this more obscure novel, an exploration of a fraught but darkly humorous mother-daughter relationship. Boyd, who was married to a man at the time and battling severe alcoholism, would eventually disavow the book, claiming that its writing process was an attempt to put the brakes on her emerging lesbianism (Years later, Brown told Boyd, 'You hit rock bottom and came up laughing'). When her urges didn't diminish after its publication, she left her husband, spent some time drying out, and reemerged in 1982 as a disheveled member of the Connecticut College writing faculty, wearing torn jeans, tinted glasses, and what the then–head of the English department called 'the dirtiest shoes he had ever seen,' before spending the next…

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. 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.
