Price: US$30.00 + shipping
Description: Black octavo, deckled edges, viii, 743 pages ; 22 cm. This novel was published posthumously in 1940 after heavy editing by Edward Aswell. Like Wolfe's other works, it is largely autobiographical and provides a glimpse into life in the 1930s. As the sequel to 'The Web and the Rock' (1939), this book continues the story of the main character, George Webber. George has written a successful novel about his family and hometown. When he returns to that town he is shaken by the force of the outrage and hatred that greets him. Family and friends feel naked and exposed by the truths they have seen in his book, and their fury drives him from his home. He begins a search for his own identity that takes him to New York and a hectic social whirl; to Paris with an uninhibited group of expatriates; to Berlin, lying cold and sinister under Hitler's shadow. At last Webber returns to America and rediscovers it with love, sorrow, and hope. || Contents: Book I. The native's return -- Book II. The world that Jack built -- Book III. An end and a beginning -- Book IV. The quest of the fair Medusa -- Book V. Exile and discovery -- Book VI. "I have a thing to tell you" -- Book VII. A wind is rising, and the rivers flow. || Novelists -- Fiction. Very mild rubbing to spine head and foot, gently rubbed and frayed corners, sunned spine, light soiling to boards, bright pages, tight binding, else Near Fine(-).

Condition: Very Good
Description: New York & London: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1940. The critical concensus towards Wolfe's work has gone from brilliant to not-so-brilliant, but now seems to be on the rise again. All have to agree that he was a tremendous talent who died too young to reach his full promise. This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of a Later Printing of the second posthumous novel published. Black cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine. Clean text; despite what must have been a monumental editing, it remains at 753 pages, an epic. A bit of sun and spotting around the upper margins and a very slight lean. The original dustjacket is unclipped (price is $6.95); light edgewear and the spine somewhat faded. In an archival plastic protector. Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good (Plus)/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
