A Cry of Children

Author's third novel, about a concert pianist & the mistress who draws him into "a world of emotionally threadbare, would-be bohemians, tolerant of very vice & depravity, with unflagging appetites for the shabby sex & liquor that kept them on the fringes of existence." A FIRST EDITION, first printing (per code) from 1952, this hardcover 8vo has a blue cloth-wrapped spine with gray cloth over boards, lettered in lighter blue to spine. Condition is VG+: completely clean, binding strong & straight, pages creamy white with a whisper of tanning to edges, but unmarked. Very mild bumping to lower spine & corners. The unclipped DJ is Good, marred by small chips at corners & head of spine, some little holes to back cover, shallow creasing & rubbing to extremities; protected in new clear mylar cover free!
