William Faulkner, 1932
FAULKNER, William (1897-1962). Light in August. New York: Harrison Smith & Robert Haas, 1932.
First edition of one of Faulkner's greatest novels. Light in August has taken its place as not only one of Faulkner's masterpieces but one of the great novels of the 20th century. Indeed, the "fine galloping language" that "begins to swim smooth and swift and peaceful" that he ascribes to a main character's beloved volume of Tennyson's poetry also describes his own writing. In the first binding. Petersen A13.1.a.
Octavo. Original cloth stamped in blue and orange; pictorial dust jacket (supplied unprinted acetate jacket adhered to verso of dust jacket flaps and slightly shrunken, tape repair to verso of jacket); custom box. Provenance: Newbegins San Francisco (bookseller ticket).
