Condition: Very Good
Description: Very Good+ in Very Good+ DJ: The Book shows only a couple of very superficial bumps at the the bottom edge of the text block and a hint of smudging to same; a small, faint thumb-smudge at the upper fore-edge; two REMAINDER marks at the bottom edge; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome, very near-to-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing the noted unobtrusive cosmetic flaws. Bright and Clean. Corners sharp. Very close to 'As New'. The DJ shows a touch of wear to the head and heel of the backstrip and a small scuff at the lower backstrip; else the white background field is remarkably clean; the price ($13.95) is intact. NOT a Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8 x 5.75 x 1.25 inches) . Language: English. Weight: 17 ounces. Black cloth over boards with gilt titles at the front panel and backstrip. Hardcover with DJ. Stunning. Faulkner, in a note to his editor wrote: ".it's a bit on the esoteric side." A bit. If you've not read him, first off, what's wrong with you? You may find yourself wondering, before long, whether there has been some ghastly printing / publishing error, and they got several books all jumbled up into one text. In some ways there is no better introduction to Faulkner's metier. Novel and stage-play and what feels in the reading like a newsreel all wrapped into one. Race, historical memory, cognitive dissonance, and a black woman on trial for a murder she could not and yet could not NOT have committed. A note to pedants and other martinets of nonnormative punctuation: this is a book you might want to avoid. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 286 pages

Description: 8vo, black quarter cloth over pale green boards, Mylar-protected striking dust jacket depicting a blue-black padlock in front of an ambiguous yellow & brown backdrop, flap states jacket designed by "E. McKnight Kauffer," [vi] + 286 pages. A Superior copy of this noteworthy work by the great Faulkner. Internally bright, tight, immaculate, with solid text block; externally crisp and bright (though there is a slight trace of soil to the back of the bright dust jacket which also has a few tiny chips from the head and foot of the spine). Requiem is a tri-part drama with interwoven narrative sections that develop the story of Temple Drake, a young woman victimized by a moonshiner's pal. The author introduced her story two decades earlier in Sanctuary (1931). The play contains Faulkner's famous phrase: "The past is never dead. It's not even past." Requiem for a Nun was also Faulkner's first book after winning the Nobel Prize, for which he made this memorable statement: "I Decline to accept the end of man. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice but he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance." As required for the 1st printing of the trade edition: there is no printing statement on the copyright-page; the front flap of the dust jacket mistakenly states "M. McKnight Kauffer" as the jacket artist; also with "$3.00" price & "Chocktaw" [sic] misspelled on p. 21. The top edge of pages are stained dark gray (as issued by publisher). Peterson A32 1b.1.

Description: First edition, first printing, limited issue of 750 numbered copies. Signed by Faulkner on the limitation page. Publisher's marbled boards and black cloth, spine lettered and decorated in gilt; in the publisher's original acetate dust jacket. Book fine; dust jacket with two closed tears to the rear panel, minor chips to the spine ends. Overall, fine and attractive copy, signed by Faulkner. Petersen A32.1a In Requiem for a Nun, Faulkner revisits the story of Temple Drake, a young Mississippi woman who becomes the victim of the criminal assistant of a notorious Tennessee moonshiner. He first introduced these characters in his 1931 novel Sanctuary. Now a grown and married woman, Temple must reconcile with the horrors of her past as she attempts to provide a more normal life for her own child. Interestingly, Requiem for a Nun is presented in the form of a three-part play interwoven with prose sections, and it is divided into three parts: Act One, "The Courthouse (A Name for the City);" Act Two, "The Golden Dome (Beginning Was the Word);" and Act Three, "The Jail (Nor Even Yet Quite Relinquish--)." Notably, this text contains one of Faulkner's best-known phrases, "The past is never dead. It is not even past," which refers to the understanding that our present identity is inherently linked to our history, an idea that is present in much of Faulkner's work and throughout the Southern Gothic genre.
