About This Item
New York: Harper and Row, 1968. First Edition. WARMLY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY MAXINE KUMIN. 8vo, original red cloth over boards lettered in black on the spine, in the original dust jacket. 399 pp. A nice bright copy with just some slight mellowing to the covers and in the original dustjacket with a touch of edge wear to the spine tips and folds. “It is ample token of Maxine Kumin’s talents as poet and novelist that this compelling novel never departs from the substance of real life. She invests with new insight the homely details of a New England suburb and the crises that punctuate life with familiarity and the saving grace of humor. The broad canvas of The Passions of Uxport offers the reader richness of character, scene and perception, and the wry wisdom of a woman of experience.”-Publisher
This copy is inscribed by Kumin to Professor Michael Fixner and his wife. Fixner and Kumin both worked in the English department at Tufts University.
