Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. First Edition. Original vellum-backed and tipped boards, spine lettered in black, front cover lettered in red. Copy H of 20 Lettered copies (of a total edition of 370) SIGNED by the author. Obviously a scarce issue of this book, a novel that dealt with the new sexual freedom of the 1920s and that was influenced by Jam…es Joyce's ULYSSES. DARK LAUGHTER was Anderson's only best-seller during his lifetime, though today he is better known for WINESBURG, OHIO. Ernest Hemingway parodied DARK LAUGHTER in his early short work THE TORRENTS OF SPRING. Hemingway's novella mocked the pretensions of Anderson's style and characters. Gertrude Stein, Hemingway's former mentor, objected to the young writer's parody of a writer who had helped him get published, resulting in a falling-out. Owner name on front endpaper; hinges repaired. Edgewear; tears to top of spine, which is darkened, with no loss; lettering to cover rubbed. Good.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Reprint edition. Slightly spine-cocked, else very near fine lacking the dust jacket. Inscribed by Anderson using the whole of the half-title: "Inscribed to Miss Mildred Esgar in Jackson, Where besides herself and Eleanor Copenhaver there were no other women & many many men. In spite of all this t…hey remained courteous to poor me. How could I help being grateful. Sherwood Anderson April 13 - '32." Laid into the copy is a 7" x 5" gelatin silver snapshot photograph of Anderson in his Virginia writing cabin, Signed: "Love to Mildred, Sherwood Anderson." Anderson must indeed have been grateful, as he married Eleanor Copenhaver, his fourth (and final) wife, the following year. *Dark Laughter* was his most commercially successful novel, a James Joycean-influenced rumination on the new sexual freedom. Signed.

8vo. First Signet paperback edition, inscribed on the first page, with additional notation on cover. 8vo. Originally serialized as Camera Obscura in the Paris-based expatriate Russian literary journal Sovremennye zapiski from 1932-33, this dark, ultimately tragic psychological novella - considered a precursor to Lolita - was not… published in English until 1936, when it was issued in London by Hutchinson & Co.'s John Long imprint. However, Nabokov was so dissatisfied with the quality of Winifred Roy's translation that he undertook redoing it himself for the American edition, which was published in 1938 by Bobbs-Merrill under a new title, Laughter in the Dark. This copy is the first Signet paperback edition, complete with a classic mid-century cover illustration. It is also inscribed by Nabokov in ink at the top of the first page - captioned as "Two Statements on Nabokov" - to Joan Peterson, the wife of his first cousin Peter: "for Joan / from Vladimir [Nabokov, printed name, circled] / Ithaca / 1938." He additionally noted "written in 1928" in pencil on the front wrapper. At the time of publication (1950), Nabokov was teaching at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, and his notation of "1938" was likely added to emphasize that the text in the book was his English translation, not the British one, which also reflected significant revisions Nabokov made to the initial published story. The further notation on the cover is interesting in that it implicitly dates the conception of the narrative - evolved from an earlier work, "Bird of Paradise" - to 1928, four years prior to its public serialization, and the same period in which the action in Laughter in the Dark occurs. Juliar A14.3 Illustrated color wrappers; edge wear, bumping, and minor soiling overall; spine sunned, with small loss at tail; interior pages tanned; first two pages separated but present First Signet paperback edition, inscribed on the first page, with additional notation on cover.
