Pappe. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl. Fadengehefteter, fotografisch gestalteter Pappband mit Lesebändchen. Die Einbandkanten leicht berieben, ansonsten guter Zustand. Der Schriftsteller Robert Lowry (* 29. März 1919 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; ? 5. Dezember 1994 ebenda) wurde mit dem von ihm begründeten Little Man Magazin und seinen…Werken wichtiger Inspirator und Quelle der amerikanischen Nachkriegsliteratur und der Beat Generation. Bereits als Kind schrieb Lowry angeregt von Pulp-Magazinen der Depressionszeit Kurzgeschichten, die in der lokalen Presse veröffentlicht wurden. Als Student der University of Cincinnati gründet Lowry 1938 das Literaturmagazin Little Man. Bevor das erste Heft im Druck erscheint, begibt sich Lowry zusammen mit einer verheirateten Kommilitonin on the road quer durch die USA. Über Arkansas und Texas trampt er alleine weiter nach New York, wo er sich als Schriftsteller etablieren möchte. Fast verhungert kehrt er wenige Monate später wieder nach Cincinnati zurück, bricht sein Studium ab und gründet mit einer gebrauchten Handpresse den Little Man Verlag, indem fortan das gleichnamige Magazin erscheint. Er gewinnt James Flora ? später berühmter Gestalter von Jazzplatten-Cover und Kinderbuchautor ? als Designer und Illustrator. Neben bereits etablierten und berühmten Schriftstellern wie William Saroyan, Jesse Stuart und Weldon Kees veröffentlicht Lowry im Little Man auch unbekannte Autoren und eigene Werke.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. [Pulp] [African American] Pulp novel about a black prizefighter and the white woman who loves him. Lowry, Robert. The Violent Wedding. New York: Popular Library, 1953. First edition first printing mass market paperback pulp edition. 127 pages. Measures 4.25" x 7". Plot follows the story of black prizefighter and t…he white woman who loves him, a groundbreaking novel for interracial relationships and dynamic characters. His books and short stories in the late 1940s and 1950s recounted his wartime experiences and life in New York's Greenwich Village during the emergence of the beatnik scene. Lowry completed and published The Violent Wedding, but didn't manage to enjoy his achievement as he was diagnosed as a schizophrenic and forced to undergo electric shock therapy. He spent the rest of his life passing in and out of "insane asylums," squalid hotels, and turbulent relationships. At the time of his death at 75, all his commercially published books were out of print. Cover features a vintage illustration of a blonde woman sprawled out on a bed while a black man in a coat stares at her from the doorway. Tagline reads: "A fast-moving, brutally frank novel." Has green tinted foredge and is in very good condition.
