Two Serious Ladies

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1943. First edition. 271 pp. Tan cloth lettered and decorated in red, top edge red, with the dust jacket. Usual slight darkening to the endsheets and edges, a bit of shelfwear at the lower edge, otherwise a very good or better copy in slightly tanned dust jacket with shallow chipping at the crown of the spine and one fore-tip, a short, closed edge tear, and some rubbing at the folds. Much better than usually seen. Bowles' first and only novel, an enigmatic modern classic. (Inventory #: 1913)
