Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. From Newsweek Magazine: "When Warren Howe, middle-aged TV script writer, receives an invitation to the funeral of Monsieur Dulac, he attempts to round up all the people who were guests with him three decades ago in Riva. Dulac's castle in the Austrian Alps. Neither Uncle Fremont, who 'invented the dust bowl' nor an old college friend cares to re-experience the good old days. But Sol Spiegel, a junk collector who salvages the past, is eager to return. To escape a world firmly anchored in space and bound to clock time, to re-experience the unbelievable, they go back to Riva--an imaginative creation fixed in neither time nor space, but like its master, both in and out of the world." Saturday Review of Literature. "Wright Morris has an uncommon facility for constantly shifting from past to present without confusion or annoyance to the reader. In Cause for Wonder the time shifts are faster than in The Field of Vision--and all to good purpose. They make of this novel a ghost story that needs no bed sheets and white-paint props, though a few are used." Very good first edition with some fading of the cover and some soiling of the outside of the pages. Internally in great shape without damage or markings. Dust jacket is chipped around the edges and torn in a couple of spots but mostly complete.
