Sobre este artículo
New York: Published by The Vanguard Press, 1937. First edition. Corner tips a touch bruised, a fine copy in a fine dust jacket with a some slight edge rubs, several light red smudges, and the upper corner tips a bit worn. (27565). Octavo, pp. [1-6] 7-167 [168], original orange cloth, paper labels affixed to spine and front panels. "Short novel whose crash-landed hero is guided through the city of Heilar-Wey by an enigmatic character who promises to show him a really good time but never quite manages to deliver -- as one might expect, given that we first meet him optimistically trying to improve a lily with paint. Never did the reality principle exert itself in such a mad and surreal way as it does herein -- a paradox which may help to explain why the book is under appreciated (though it is certainly not in the same league as THE CIRCUS OF DR. LAO)." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 5-108. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 214. Bleiler (1978), p. 73. Reginald 05418.
