A little minor rubbing and toning to jacket edges, but overall VG/VG.
O’Connor (Flannery) The Violent Bear it Away
£275
London, Longmans, 1960.
First UK edition. 8vo. Original orange boards. Dust-jacket, correctly priced 16/-.
One of only two novels written by this all-too-often over-looked American author, more prolific as an author of short stories. Crammed full of overwhelming religious themes and dark imagery, the work is one of the best examples of the “Southern Gothic” subgenre.
