Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, 1963 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. 372 pp. First Edition, 1963. "The author has a mysterious way of revealing the heart and the mind of his character through the portrayal of events in the lives of those characaters surrounding him. In his internal and very personal drama of a young man, Eddie's breathless entry into the labyrinthine corridors of knowledge, his soul is revealed by contrasting his fears and aspirations with a network of the personalities who share his environment. To Eddy Ryan, a product of Chicago's early 20th-century Irish community, the University of Chicago represents much more than a means towards the end of 'getting ahead' for Eddy regards learning as an end in itself -- the key to understanding himself and his world. The complexities of this yound man's first close look at the grwon-up reality of tangled emotion provides a poignant subject for th novel by the author of the Studs Lonigan trilogy." Not Price Clipped. Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine..
