Sobre este artículo
London: Martin Secker. 1923. First UK edition, first printing. First UK edition, first printing. Original red cloth lettered and ruled in black to the spine and front panel, in the scarce dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. Top edge coloured black (as issued), lower edges untrimmed, light spotting to fore-edge. Light offsetting to endpapers. Complete with the dusty and spotted dustwrapper that is darkened to the spine and folds with some chipping to the upper edge. Scarce in dustwrapper. The author's third novel, and the black sheep among them. Panned by critics at the time, the novel remained out of print for decades. In the spring of 1922, Dos Passos described the book to Edmund Wilson as "a novel about the devitalized gentility of modern Boston [...] a tragedy of impotence". Dos Passos' next book, 'Manhattan Transfer', acclaimed by D. H. Lawrence and Hemingway, would make the author's name. (Virginia Spencer Carr, 'Dos Passos: A Life', New York: 1984) Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
