About This Item
London: Chatto & Windus, 1939. Very good in very good jacket.. First UK edition of Faulkner's novel, two alternating narratives set in New Orleans, later published under the author's preferred title of IF I FORGET THEE, JERUSALEM. The only William Faulkner novel to be quoted in a John Hughes film ("Between grief and nothing, I'll take grief," offers the principal in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF, a drama that has no other echoes in Faulkner's exploration of responsibility, abandonment to desire, and the hard consequences of illicit freedom from society's institutions. Or does it?). 7.25'' x 5''. Original green and blue-white cloth. Green topstain. In original unclipped (7s. 6d.) green dust jacket. 315, [1] pages. Book with toned spine, bump to top lower corner; scuffing and faint foxing to endpapers with traces of adhesive residue. Light chipping and soil to jacket, single tape repair to verso, a few scuffed patches to spine and rear panel.
