About This Item
London : Faber & Faber, (1939). First British edition. Six sequences of Saroyan short stories - "Mr. Saroyan is so diverse, so expressive, that he is never a bore and always amusing ... Seldom cynical, occasionally angry, he is always seeing, watching, understanding, and transposing, into his highly artificial prose that achieves the ultra-natural, the ways, foibles, desires and idiocies of mankind ... he has a spate of words at need and sometimes lets them tumble over one another, but always as trained acrobats, never with casual effect or effort" (Birmingham Daily Post, 21st March 1939). Crown 8vo (20cm). 316,[iv]pp. Original black cloth, blocked and lettered in yellow; a few faint spots to endpapers, but an exceptionally good copy of a book where the yellow blocking has usually suffered - in the striking original dust-jacket - the jacket with minimal wear and a sprinkle of spots, but also exceptionally good.
