Smith D-511. Bleiler Checklist (1978), p. 63. The hero of the novel of the mad goes mad and is plagued by a ghost. ". a breath-taking, curious and profoundly moving psychic drama, amazingly conceived and ingeniously worked out. Not in any way a thesis novel, it contains nevertheless disturbing implications about our ideas on morality and our social organization. It is a tale, too, for those who like mystery and terror." -- Burton Roscoe, from a review quoted on the jacket.

Douglas, [Archer] Donald. The Grand Inquisitor. Boni and Liveright, New York, 1925.

Price: US$495.00 + shipping

Description: 8vo, [319]pp, patterned endpapers; black cloth with decorative purple stamping on spine. A once well-regarded and now forgotten book by a once well-regarded and now forgotten writer. A contemporary reviewer compared Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby, published in the same year, to this book, in quality if not style. A nice presentation copy, inscribed on the verso of the front free endpaper to a fellow writer: "For Isidor Schneider, Director general of administrative affairs, technician of impeccable capacity, and a most engaging person, from Donald Douglas, January 1925" A poet and radical, Isidor Schneider was a longtime contributor to The New Masses and The Nation. Covers rubbed and slightly marked, very good in a rubbed, price-clipped dust jacket with just a bit of edge wear and a couple of short closed tears to the rear hinge.
