About this Item
Description:
Goodis, David. DARK PASSAGE. New York: Julian Messner, (1946). First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine priced ($2.00) original dust jacket, a superb example acquired from the Otto Penzler Collection of Mystery Fiction. Dark Passage is the greatest achievement of American crime writer David Goodis (1917-1967); it?s a hardboiled and unsentimental work brilliant in both subtext and characterization, yet shot through with moments of deep tenderness and humanity. It?s been famously said of Goodis that his books read like suicide notes. And to some who are willing to risk their opinions, this cataloguer included, Dark Passage is the novel in which the reclusive and enigmatic Goodis transcends genre and creates a work of literature. DARK PASSAGE was adapted in 1947 by Warner Brothers into the famous Film Noir of the same name, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. We?ve never seen a copy in better condition.
