Condition: Near Fine
Description: A Near Fine copy in a Very good plus unclipped dust jacket with a small chip to the bottom edge of the front paenl and a shallow chip to the top edge of the spine. Extremely rare in dust jacket. These fragments and sketches have a poetic quality to them that have the rhythmic quality of today's prose poems. Anderson's primary subjects, whether in his novels, short stories or poems, are men and women, their houses, their moods and manners. He is a writer in the true sense of the word where nothing or no one is lost on him.

Description: Signed Presentation Copy of a Limited Edition. The limitation page indicates the edition consists of 265 numbered and signed copies, of which 250 are for sale. The word 'Presentation' is hand-written on the number line, and it is signed in black ink 'Sherwood Anderson.' Though not indicated, this was in the collection of T. R. Smith, chief editor at Liveright during the 1920s. 118 pages, free verse and prose poems. Slipcase edges worn & rubbed, glassine torn with losses, spine well-spotted and darkened. Some pages unopened, ribbon marker. Although the book and slipcase are a bit worse for wear, it is a unique copy of an unusual work. Anderson, 1876-1941, was an American novelist and short story writer best known for his 1919 masterpiece 'Winesburg, Ohio' about life in a typical Midwestern town. He is remembered for his sympathy for the struggles of the common man. He considered 'A New Testament' to be an experimental work exploring 'the purely fanciful side of a man's life, the odds and ends of thought, the little pockets of thoughts and emotions that are so seldom touched.' It was his 'own kind of poetry [of] mystic, vague impulses' akin to the chants or utterances of some of the Hebrew poets in the Old Testament. , marbled slipcase in Good condition. Hardcover, black boards & vellum.

Faulkner, William. MOSQUITOES. Boni and Liveright, New York, 1927.
Price: US$4500.00 + shipping
Description: First edition of Faulkner's Huxleyesque satire on sex, swamps, artists, and boats, featuring an ungenerous portrayal of Sherwood Anderson as "Dawson Fairchild, the novelist, resembling a benevolent walrus." Faulkner's second novel took the then-fashionable form of stranding a small group of reprehensible sophisticates in intolerable circumstances and forcing them to have arch conversations with one another until rescue arrived or the book ended, whichever came first. Though rarely ranked among the author's greatest works, MOSQUITOES "owes its messiness more to uncertain intention and undisciplined exuberance than to ignorance, spite, or vacuity" (Yamaguchi). An attractive copy. 7.25'' x 5.25''. Original blue cloth with yellow lettering. Decorative blue endpapers. In original price-clipped red and green dust jacket. 349, [1] pages. Minor scuffing and a few tiny chips to jacket, spine toned. Light edgewear to boards. Interior clean.
