Redding Ridge, CT: Black Swan Books, 1995. First Edition. Signed and inscribed by the author / editor Louis L. Martz to fellow professor and author, Donald L. Kaufman, best known for his studies on the work of Norman Mailer. Inscribed: “For Donald, ‘ancient friend...Now I remember that you built me a special’ regard for modern literature, Louis.” Fine copy in a fine dust jacket. From the rear panel of the dust jacket by L.D. Clark, editor of the Cambridge edition of The Plumed Serpent: “Written in 1923 but never carried beyond typescript, Quetzalcoatl is an earlier and much different version of Lawrence’s Mexican novel, The Plumed Serpent. Since the appearance of Mr. Noon a few years ago, Quetzalcoatl has been the only full-length work by Lawrence to remain unpublished. This fascinating novel, with meticulous and an illuminating introduction by Louis Martz, is now presented to readers of Lawrence for the first time.” (Inventory #: 21096E)
