About this Item
First French trade edition, review copy, of O'Connor's first novel with Coindreau's introduction contextualizing American evangelical culture: from Billy Sunday and Aimee Semple McPherson to Hazel Motes and his creator. Coindreau, critic and distinguished translator of Faulkner, Dos Passos, Hemingway, was in large part responsible for the wide readership and high esteem enjoyed by eminent American writers in postwar France. An admirer of O'Connor's work, he became her friend in the course of translating her work, visiting her in Andalusia where he "amused himself by filming her peafowl with a movie camera he brought with him" (Samway). 7'' x 4.25''. Original cream wrappers printed in red and black. 228, [2] pages. Publisher's review perforation ("SP") to rear wrapper. Minor edgewear, light toning and soil to wrappers. Pages toned.
