- New York: New Directions, 1949
New York: New Directions, 1949. First American Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First American edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's original tan cloth, with spine stamped in black and blue. Near Fine with strips of browning to edges of front and rear free endpapers, pages toned. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket designed by Alvin Lustig, with several tiny edge-chips and light rubbing, but largely a much nicer example than normally found. A classic of existential fiction set in North Africa.
