About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1971. First printing. Near fine in very good jacket.. First edition of O'Connor's collected short fiction, including twelve stories never before published in book form. The collection opens with the title story of O'Connor's 1947 master's thesis collection, "The Geranium," and concludes with "Judgment Day," a revised and expanded version of the same story. Evelyn Waugh, fellow sharp-edged Catholic and sour genius, once wrote to Giroux that "If these stories are in fact the work of a young lady, they are indeed remarkable." Thomas Merton, untroubled by such reservations, called her an American Sophocles. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original olive cloth with gilt-lettered spine. Red topstain, red endpapers. In original unclipped ($10.00) dust jacket by Charles Skaggs. 555, [1] pages. Minor soil to edges of text block. Jacket spine and edges toned, with a few tiny chips and closed tears. Tight.
