Therese: A Novel

Another Anchor paperback (A79) for which the late, great Edward Gorey did the cover illustration & typography. Otherwise, it's the English-language edition of 4 critical events in the life of this tragic, guilt-ridden heroine, captured alone & completely woeful in Gorey's masterful cover art. Mauriac's approach exemplifies the "Catholic Renascence" movement in mid-20th-century literature. Mass market paperback is in VG-/G+ condition: very clean, with some slight foxing to external page edges & light shelfwear. Slight rubbing to extremities, with a tiny tear at lower spine-front cover interface & shallow spine creasing. Small area of sticker pull on lower back. Internal pages completely white & clean & unmarked. Nicely protected in new mylar collector bag. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
