Rachel MacKenzie was a fiction editor at The New Yorker from 1956 through 1979. Known for nurturing the careers of such literary giants as Isaac Bashevis Singer and Saul Bellow, she also had a correspondence with Muriel Spark and encouraged her to submit to the New Yorker Charles McGrath, former writer and editor for The New Yorker, writes "MacKenzie was a bluestocking, a former college professor, who had a discerning eye for talent (she more or less discovered Isaac Singer and was a supporter of the young Philip Roth)." This collection of stories contains 24 stories, 14 of which first appeared in The New Yorker, including the title story. It shared the 1974 National Book Award for Fiction with Thomas Pynchon, and Singer went on to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. 1328426. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.

Condition: Fine
Description: First Printing. Warmly signed, inscribed, and dated by the author directly to the second blank page. The book is fine - but for some light pushing to the extremities - and the fragile paper dust jacket - which is now protected by a removable Brodart archival cover - is easily near fine, with only some light soiling/wear at the spine ends and a small sticker ghost on the spine. It comes from the esteemed modern first collection of Joy Kritzer. A scarce, beautiful collectible copy from the Nobel Prize and National Book Award winning author. I ship all of my books bubble-wrapped in sturdy, very well-padded boxes, so they are guaranteed to arrive in the exact same condition as when they left. Please feel free to email with any questions/offers/trades and thank you for supporting small independent booksellers everywhere.
