New York: Harper, 1950. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Fine in an attractive, very good plus dustwrapper with several small flaws: a few short tears, a light crease and a small, faint dampstain all on the rear panel and a bit of rubbing at the crown. South Carolina-born author's first novel, a "Harper Prize" novel, judged that year by Katherine Anne Porter, Glenway Wescott and Joseph Henry Jackson. (Inventory #: 2133)
