Anderson, Sherwood. WINDY McPHERSON'S SON. , 1916.

Price: US$295.00 + shipping

Description: New York: John Lane Company | London: John Lane, The Bodley Head, 1916. Original orange-brown cloth decorated in black and gilt. First Edition of Sherwood Anderson's first (and most autobiographical) novel -- a rags-to-riches-to-unhappiness tale of an Ohio newsboy, complete with alcoholic father and martyr mother who in trying to feed her children works her way into an early grave. Sam McPherson strives for and achieves fortune, only to realize (after driving his father-in-law to suicide) that there is more to life than money. In 1922, this novel would be re-published with a different ending (less vague, more optimistic -- though many have argued that either ending is too unlikely). In any case, this was Anderson's initiation into the art of writing fiction -- which would come to fruition three years later, with WINESBURG, OHIO (1919). This is a fine copy of this early midwestern novel (complete with ear of corn on front cover and spine). Housed in a (slightly wrinkled) slipcase with leather label.

Price: US$1437.50 + shipping

Condition: Good

Description: 8 x 5.25", pict rust-colored cloth, 347pp, covers heavily worn and darkened (especially spine), extremities bumped and fraying, spine with old, mangled paper glued-on, rear cover with several scratches, spine cocked, hinges quite loose (but not cracked), textblock well worn and toned; sepia tone photo of Sherwood Anderson cello-taped inside front cover. A well worn, used and abused copy. SWAF. FIRST EDITION OF AUTHOR'S FIRST BOOK, BOLDLY INSCRIBED "To my Friend Marietta Finley" AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. Finley was a long-time friend of Anderson's; a book of letters between Anderson and Finley was later published. Interestingly, the 1916 Blue Book for Indianapolis lists Finley as the Vice-President of The Players Club, with Kurt Vonnegut (Sr.) as the President. Now there's a neat literary connection; Sherwood Anderson to Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. in just a few short degrees of separation!
