About This Item
New York: New Directions, 1946. First Edition Thus.
Pamphlet reprinting an article by James Farrell on the future of writing and publishing in the aftermath of World War II.
He's optimistic -- as long as writers defend literary culture against commercialization and censorship. "Decidedly, the time has come for writers to speak up, to assert themselves, to take a stand on the future of books. The time has come for them to say, and with scorn in their voices, that they will not be hacks."
PHYSICAL DETAILS: Octavo (8 1/4 x 5 5/8 inches; 210 x 142 mm), unpaginated (32 pages), in stapled orange wrappers (soft cover).
CONDITION: Toning and soiling to wrappers, vertical crease throughout, book club's stamp to front wrapper but internally clean and unmarked. About Very Good.
