New York: The Dial Press, 1962. Fine in very good plus jacket.. First edition, review copy with publisher's publicity photo laid in of novel that Baldwin said "makes GIOVANNI seem conservative-almost square." Baldwin's 1962 novel was written over the course of more than a decade, during the author's stays in Greenwich Village, in William Styron's Connecticut guest house, in Paris, and finally in Istanbul: a writing process so long and so spread out over the globe because "I couldn't find the peace of mind-the space free of other people-to write anywhere in America" (Weatherby). The result, banned for obscenity in New Orleans and panned by a petulant Norman Mailer as "abominably written" except for the sex, was also a bestseller second only to Golding's LORD OF THE FLIES. NATIONAL REVIEW, of all places, called it "brilliantly written." 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original black cloth, white-lettered spine and front board. In original unclipped ($5.95) color typographic dust jacket with design by Paul Bacon,… Leer más
