About This Item
New York: The Vanguard Press, 1932. First Edition. First Printing. Octavo (21cm); dark brown cloth, with printed title labels mounted to spine and front cover; dark brown topstain; dustjacket; xiv,15-308,[2]pp. Faint staining to base of spine and lower front cover, mild, shallow soil to gutters at preliminary and terminal leaves; Very Good or better. Dustjacket is unclipped (priced $3.75), gently spine-sunned, with modest wear and dust-soil, several nicks, tears, and creases, with four tape mends on verso; Very Good. Farrell's first novel, and a high-point of the proletarian genre. Farrell would follow this debut with The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan (1934) and Judgment Day (1935), completing a trilogy which Michael Sadleir called "the most impressive study of degeneration since Zola's L'Assommoir...and...infinitely more telling today than anything which Zola wrote." HANNA 1152; RIDEOUT p.296.
