1924151436New York: George H. Doran Company 1924. First edition of this work analyzing modern authors and their literary characters through a psychological lens. Octavo original publisher's red cloth illustrated with tipped in plates. Association copy inscribed by the author to fellow writer James Joyce on the front free endpaper "James Joyce with the writers compliments Joseph Collins." The recipient James Joyce was an Irish modernist writer whose novel Ulysses 1922 is widely regarded as one of the most influential works of twentieth-century literature. Set in Dublin over the course of a single day the novel employs innovative narrative techniques—most notably stream of consciousness—to explore the inner lives of its characters while drawing structural parallels to Homer’s Odyssey. Joseph Collins was the first person to review Ulysses for the New York Times after Joyce lent Collins the Little Review installments of Ulysses. Collins groaned to Nutting the next day "I have in my files writing by the insane just as good as this" and gave a medical explanation of the deterioration of the artist's brain. Later on however he began to think better of the book. Joyce even had Molly Bloom memorialize Collins's manner in Ulysses: "Floey made me go to that dry old stick Dr Collins for womens diseases on Pembroke road. I wouldn't trust him too far to give me chloroform or God knows what else still I liked him when he sat down to write." Richard Ellman James Joyce page 516. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. An exceptional association. Dr. Joseph Collins 1866–1950 was an American neurologist author literary critic and medical educator known for his contributions to the study of nervous and mental disorders in the early twentieth century. A graduate of New York University Collins served as a professor of neurology and was actively involved in clinical practice and medical writing producing works that addressed both specialized neurological topics and broader issues of health and psychology. In addition to his scientific publications he wrote essays and books aimed at general audiences often exploring the relationship between mind and body as well as the social implications of medical knowledge.

193420636New York: Farrar & Rinehart Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1934. First Edition. Hardcover. spine considerably turned but otherwise very little wear to book; the very attractive jacket has a few teensy-tiny nicks along top edge spine sun-browned light soiling to rear panel. pen & ink drawings Novel with rather a weird premise: during World War I while serving in France with the Canadian Army as did the author the protagonist of this tale has occasion to apparently kill the same German officer twice and then to encounter him yet a third time and witness his execution as a spy -- all of which has the cumulative effect of driving him stark raving mad. He eventually recovers but I know you've only counted to three and sure enough years later when he and his wife are skiing in Switzerland he is rescued after an accident on the slopes by a young German who appears to be the same guy! The jacket blurb says the story "has as its core mystery and compelling suspense though it is completely out of the category of detective fiction. It is a story of horror though unlike The Werewolf of Paris or The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck it has no time for atmosphere as it is preeminently a narrative of action. It takes as its background the World War although it is not a war story." The New York Times reviewer called it "a quite exceptional achievement a singular and powerful story." The author directed a handful of feature films in Hollywood in the half-dozen or so years prior to the publication of this book; his next book "They Gave Him a Gun" is probably his best known by virtue of having been made into the M-G-M film of the same name. .
