Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Condition. First UK. Dawn Powell (1896 - 1965) was an American novelist, playwright, screenwriter, and short story writer. Known for her acid-tongued prose, "her relative obscurity was likely due to a general distaste for her harsh satiric tone." Nonetheless, Stella Adler and author Clifford Odets appeared in one of her plays. Her work was praised by Robert Benchley in The New Yorker and in 1939 she was signed as a Scribner author where Maxwell Perkins, famous for his work with many of her contemporaries, including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe, became her editor. A 1963 nominee for the National Book Award, she received an American Academy of Arts and Letters Marjorie Peabody Waite Award for lifetime achievement in literature the following year. A friend to many literary and arts figures of her day, including author John Dos Passos, critic Edmund Wilson, and poet E.E. Cummings, Powell's work received renewed interest after Gore Vidal praised it in a 1987 editorial for The New York Review of Books. Since then, the Library of America has published two collections of her novels. Powell's first editions, especially her early books, are relatively scarce. Dust Jackets are particularly scarce. This copy is near fine in red cloth with black titles on the spine. Slight bumping at the spine ends, and slight age darkening of the endpapers and page edges. No other marks or damage. The clipped DJ has minor edge wear with several small chips and tears, and slight soiling. There is a small spot of adhesive residue on the lower jacket spine, apparently where a price tag was removed. Very good overall. . TN.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First English edition. Corners a little bumped, top stain a little rubbed else very near fine in a nice, near fine dust jacket with some shallow chips and short tears. Inscribed by the author using the entire front fly: "To F. Monaghan, with the laciest of valentine wishes, Dawn Powell. P.S. Is there cause here (in v.1.) for a World's Fair? Or do you feel that it merely deals with Time? On this subject I think you will find it the definitive volume, dealing with the three schools (a) Is Time a pipe? (b) Is Time a 6 o'clock train? (c) Is Time just papa dressed up? Dr. Powell says yes to all these moots pts." Powell has also crossed out the incorrect title of one of her books on the front flap (*The Bride's House*, here rendered by the English publisher as *The Birdie House*). By consensus the best novel on New York's bohemian life by this satirical, proto-feminist novelist who has only fairly recently been rediscovered. Gore Vidal, whose critical essay helped restore her fame, called her a better satirist than Twain and said she was "our best comic novelist," and Ernest Hemingway once told her she was his "favorite living novelist" although she was not averse to poking fun at Hemingway himself, which she did in her novel *The Wicked Pavilion*. Novelist Lisa Zeidner, in a review of the biography of Powell by Tim Page in *The New York Times Book Review*, said that "she is wittier than Dorothy Parker, dissects the rich better than F. Scott Fitzgerald, is more plaintive than Willa Cather in her evocation of the heartland and has a more supple control of satirical voice than Evelyn Waugh, the writer to whom she's most often compared." Powell was an archetypal free spirit, living much of her life in Greenwich Village, taking and flaunting lovers frequently (although she was married), and mercilessly skewering the postures and foibles of an array of New York types, from bohemian artists to wealthy tycoons. An exceptionally scarce book, especially with such a fulsome, if curious, inscription.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First English edition. Professionally rebacked, preserving the original boards, spine, and endpapers, a presentable good copy lacking the dust jacket. Housed in a custom cloth clamshell case. Inscribed by the author: "To Ben Wasson after the Japanese etchings (very happy). Dawn Powell." Wasson was an author, editor, and literary agent, and the close friend of William Faulkner. Wasson convinced publisher Harcourt, Brace and Harrison Smith, to publish Faulkner's novel (then called *Flags in the Dust*) if Wasson would edit it, which he did for $50. The novel was eventually published as *Sartoris*. By consensus the best novel on New York's bohemian life by this satirical, proto-feminist novelist who has only fairly recently been rediscovered.

LeClercq was a noted translator of Rabelais and Dumas, as well as a number of modern French texts, who moved in the same Greenwich Village circle as Powell and appears frequently in her diaries over a period of forty years. LeClercq was also the Dedicatee of Powell's novel, *The Story of a Country Boy*. From the estate of his daughter, the polio-stricken prima ballerina Tanaquil LeClercq, the final wife of George Balanchine. By consensus the best novel on New York's bohemian life by this satirical, proto-feminist novelist who was largely forgotten and then rediscovered.
