Condition: Near Fine

Description: Publisher's full blue cloth, gilt lettering and decoration on spine and cover. "This story, chosen from 1340 manuscripts, is the first fruits of a successful search into the neglected realm of the short novel, in a contest intended to encourage the many writers who are at their best in this distinctive literary form." "The $2,500 Prize Novelette, and a memorable award, in discovering a new writer of real merit, and giving impetus to a shorter form of novel writing which has proved its value in such gems as Goodbye, Mr. Chips and Of Mice and Men. There is the tempo and the spirit of Ethan Frome in story and telling; the setting is the corn belt of Iowa. Simply told, the story reveals the tragedy behind the life of two sisters, the husband of the elder, and the youth, who eventually discovers that his "uncle" is in fact his father, and his one link with normal life and "remembered laughter." A tragic story, implicit with far more than the bare outlines reveal." - Kirkus Review. A contemporary newspaper review is laid-in. . Some offset lettering from the spine of the dust jacket to the spine of the book, and some sunning along the top edge, else fine; unmarked, tight, square, and clean. The unclipped dust jacket, now in Mylar, is lightly worn at the head, heel, and corners, with one small closed tear on the front panel, else fine. A very nice copy.
