Description

First authorized and first trade edition issued in America. With a long introduction by Karl Shapiro and a preface by Anais Nin. 8vo., publisher's original cloth backed boards in dustjacket. xxxiii, 318 pp. A handsome, clean and pleasing copy, some light evidence of age or shelving to the dustjacket, the book very fine.

Edizione: first authorized and first trade edition issued in america. of the book, john ciardi said, [it] "is a substantial work of art. the violence of miller's attack on orthodoxy and falseness is indispensable to his human vision of things. in [the book] the test is ferocity, a ferocious and yet naive sincerity that castigates all sham. it cannot fail to be moral finally, because the ferocity is radically moral. and because the author is an artist--a very good one, as the continued 'underground life' of the book attests." ours is a very nice copy of this classic.
