First Fawcett Crest Printing, April 1966. No markings. Vintage paperback in fair condition. 479 pages. Spine/covers repaired with acid free tape. The novel, a collection of twenty-eight short stories, concerns Marcy Cresap, a social worker and reformer in the town of Glory, West Virginia.

Louis Grubb, in his preface to You Never Believe Me, quotes Orville Prescott's review of the novel in The New York Times: Davis Grubb's novel The Voices of Glory is an overwhelming novel. It overwhelms with torrential eloquence, with tempestuous emotion, with drama, melodrama, and pathos. There hasn't been anything like Voices of Glory ever. Time Magazine, in an unsigned review of Oct 19, 1962, stated: "The immense force of Grubb's writing is flung against enemies long since weakened or dead-boosterism, Babbittry, ignorant refusal to vaccinate schoolchildren. He might as well have written a passionate parable Historic Oklahoma Bookstore on Route 66. Packages shipped daily, Mon-Friday. Seller Inventory # mon0000707803
