DEATH OF A MAN.
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, [1936]. First edition. Pale green cloth, stamped in silver. Ownership signature and stamp of Boyle's publisher, James Laughlin [New Directions]. Tiny Gotham Book Mart label affixed to rear pastedown (upside down, as you would expect it to be). Spine sunned, else a near fine copy that appears to be unread, without a dust jacket.
First edition. Dedicated to "Eugene Jolas because we sat in the summer of that year in the wine-cellars and the Gasthauses of that town." When this title first appeared in the 1930s, and until at least the latter part of the 1980s, it was condemned as a fascist love story featuring a sympathetic Nazi, and a lovesick American, Pendennis (who is mocked to this day). Near fine. Item #306
Price: $45.00
