New York: Dodd, Mead, 1934. First edition. 273 pp. Full lavender cloth, lettered and decorated in black, with the dust jacket. Top edge spotted, head and tail of spine a bit discolored. The jacket has an inch chip on the top edge of the front panel, affecting the title lettering, and some minor chipping at the tail of the spine, front flap almost detached but holding. Fast's second book, which he later disowned as a "half-assed, hysterical novel." Inscribed on the front free endpaper, "to ---- / Merry Christmas / Happy New Year / 1944-1945 / Howard." Scarce in any format, especially in jacket and inscribed.

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
