About this Item
First English edition. Small neat owner name front fly, else fine in very good or better dust jacket with some shallow chipping at the crown. Powell was a prolific and well-regarded author, but mostly forgotten until a well-deserved revival was prompted by a 1987 reassessment by Gore Vidal in *The New York Review of Books*. For forty years she was a valued jewel of the New York literary world and if you read her books it's easy to see why. Ernest Hemingway once referred to her as his "favorite living novelist". At the time of her death all of her books were out of print, now almost all are back in print, including two collections of her novels published by The Library of America in 2001. The English edition of this title is uncommon. Seller Inventory # 583897
