Condition: Very Good
Description: Blue-grey octavo, deckled edges, 352 pages ; 22 cm. The plot centers on Nina Leeds, the daughter of an Ivy League professor, who is devastated when her adored fiancé is killed in World War I, before they have a chance to consummate their passion. Ignoring the unconditional love of the novelist Charles Marsden, Nina embarks on a series of sordid affairs before determining to marry an amiable fool, Sam Evans. While Nina is pregnant with Sam's child, she learns a horrifying secret known only to Sam's mother: insanity runs in the Evans family and could be inherited by any child of Sam's. Realizing that a child is essential to her own and to Sam's happiness, Nina decides on a "scientific" solution. She will abort Sam's child and conceive a child with the physician Ned Darrell, letting Sam believe that it is his. The plan backfires when Nina and Ned's intimacy leads to their falling passionately in love. Twenty years later, Sam's "son" Gordon Evans is approaching manhood, with only Nina and Ned aware of the boy's true parentage. The meaning of the title is suggested by the aging Nina in a speech near the end of the play: "Our lives are strange dark interludes in the electrical display of God the Father!"--Wikipedia. Adultery -- Drama. || No DJ, as issued. Very mild rubbing to spine head and foot, very gently bumped corners, very light soiling to boards and spine, sunned spine, clean pages, tight binding, about Very Good.

Description: Light shelfwear to boards, embossed previous owner's name to front endpaper, inner joints a little tender and book a bit shaken. An attractive copy of O'Neill's experimental play which won the Pullitzer and was made into a major film in 1932. Because it is around 5 hours long, makes extensive use of extended soliloquy and was much censored outside NYC for its themes of mental illness, abortion, infidelity and women's sexuality, its reputation has waned. The play has in interesting food connection - it was banned in Boston (of course) in 1929 by the mayor and the production moved to Quincy, near the first Howard Johnson's restaurant where it was discovered by the Boston cognoscenti which led to much word of mouth and national attention.

Price: US$100.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Boni & Liveright, 1928. O'Neill's experimental play won the Pulitzer in 1928. One of the many critical assessments on the dustjacket notes "Not only a great play, but the great American novel as well." At over five hours production time, many have never seen this work; but O'Neill remains the dark genius of American literature. This is a Very Good copy of the Fifth Printing, from June of 1928 (the first issue was in February. Green cloth binding, ruled in a lighter green and with a reproduced signature in gilt on the front cover; gilt titling on the spine. Clean text; 352 pages. Decorative endpapers; green topstain (faded). A sound copy, but the spine lettering seems a bit darkened and it is slightly cocked. The evocative dustjacket is unclipped, but darkened at the margins and with chipping along its edges. In an archival plastic protector. . Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Quintero directed Strange Interlude for New York's Actors Studio in 1963 with a cast which included Geraldine Page, Jane Fonda, Franchot Tone, Ben Gazzara, Pat Hingle and Betty Field.

Description: 267 x 197 mm. (10 1/2 x 7 3/4"). 90 pp., [1] leaf (colophon); 114 pp., [1] leaf (colophon); 4 p.l., 298 pp., [1] leaf (blank), [1] leaf (colophon). Three separately published works in three volumes. First two works in publisher's patterned cloth backed with black buckram, both with pictorial dust jacket and in (somewhat worn) publisher's slipcase with paper label; "Strange Interlude" in publisher's stiff vellum over bevelled boards, with original tissue dust jacket and (very worn and crudely repaired) original paper slipcase. First two works with 17 illustrations (eight in "Emperor Jones," nine in "Hairy Ape") by Alexander King, as called for. âTop of "Ape" dust jacket spine neatly replaced, "Interlude" vellum quite spotted (as almost always with this book), tissue jacket of "Interlude" rather torn and creased, otherwise very well preserved: the printed jackets generally clean and fine, and the volumes themselves unworn and internally without significant signs of use. This is a pleasing group of signed limited edition copies of three ground-breaking plays by the only American playwright to win the Nobel Prize for literature. The story of a railway porter who becomes the oppressive dictator of a West Indian island, "The Emperor Jones" (1920) was the play that made O'Neill (1888-1953) famous. In it, O'Neill begins to demonstrate the innovations Day considers his great contribution to American theater: "naturalism, expressionism, modern psychology, previously forbidden themes, and previously unknown plumbing of psychic and spiritual depths." It makes great use of the soliloquy, one of O'Neill's favorite devices: in six of the eight scenes, Jones is the only character who speaks. "The Hairy Ape" (1922) deals with issues of belonging and alienation, revealing O'Neill's sympathy with the laboring class oppressed by the wealthy and privileged elite. O'Neill won his third Pulitzer Prize in eight years for "Strange Interlude," an experimental play that was, in Day's words, "a surprisingly popular success although its nine acts consume five hours." Its story of a 20th century Everywoman touches on the issues of promiscuity, abortion, insanity, and adultery (the controversial content perhaps explaining some of its popularity). This grouping is intended to provide an opportunity to acquire three signed copies of important American plays at an advantageous price. Each work ONE OF 775 COPIES (750 of these for sale) SIGNED BY O'NEILL; FIRST EDITION of "Strange Interlude.".

O'NEILL, Eugene. STRANGE INTERLUDE. New York: Boni & Liveright., 1928.
Price: US$2512.11 + shipping
Description: Signed, numbered, limited edition of 775 copies, 750 of which were for sale. Some of the non-trade copies were publisher's presentation copies and some were reserved for the author. This copy is identified on the limitation page as "author's copy 3". In addition to the signature on the limitation page, this copy is additionally signed and personally dedicated to the Danish-American novelist, professor and O'Neill scholar, Sophus Winther. There is a small paper label affixed to the front pastedown noting that the volume was presented by Winter to Indiana University. Original Japanese vellum-covered beveled boards with blue ruled borders, facsimile of the author's signature stamped in gilt to the front panel; black label ruled and lettered in gilt to the spine. Complete with the orange paper-covered card slipcase with a buff paper label lettered in brown to the spine. The text is printed in blue and black ink on laid paper, watermarked with the author's signature. Housed in a fleece-lined custom made box with hand-decorated cloth-covered boards, quarter-bound in black leather with a burgundy label lettered and ruled in gilt to the spine. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean and bright throughout. The paper-covered boards are uniformly mottled (a near-universal phenomenon with this volume) and the slipcase is moderately worn and scuffed, notably to lower edges. A very attractive association copy of O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Dedicated on the front free endpaper "To Sophus / in memory of your visit here / with all friendship! / Eugene O'Neill / Casa Genotta, 1936". Stephen A. Black, in his biography of O'Neill, describes that visit thus: "In late August, new friends from Seattle arrived for a visit, Sophus and Eline Winther. Sophus Keith Winther of the University of Washington had written a book on O'Neill that the playwright liked. In correspondence O'Neill had mentioned he wanted to move to the West Coast. The Winthers suggested a visit to Seattle, and Eugene agreed. Winther arranged for them [O' Neill and his wife, Carlotta] to rent a secluded house high on a bluff in the Magnolia district with westward views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula." The friendship between O' Neill and Winther continued for the remainder of the author's life. 'Strange Interlude', an experimental, nine-act work lasting five hours, took many years to write (O' Neill began work on the play in 1923) and is notable for its novel and extended use of soliloquy (a characteristic that was parodied by Groucho Marx, no less, in the great 'Animal Crackers' (1930), where O' Neill's play is subtly name-checked). The play opened on January 30, 1928, at the John Golden Theatre on Broadway and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama that year (the third of four such awards bestowed upon the author). 'Strange Interlude' was adapted by Bess Meredyth for the 1932 film directed by Robert Z. Leonard, starring Norma Shearer and Clark Gable; as well as a 1988 television adaptation directed by Herbert Wise and starring Edward Petherbridge and Glenda Jackson (broadcast as part of the PBS series, American Playhouse).

Leonard-directed film featuring Norma Shearer and Clark Gable, as well as a 1988 television version directed by Herbert Wise and with a splendid cast headed by Kenneth Branagh.
