06580New York: The Viking Press 1950. Experiment in Form - Play and Novel Intertwined<br /> A Dramatic Steinbeck Unusual and Underappreciated<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. Burning Bright. A Play in Story Form. New York: The Viking Press 1950.<br /> First edition. <br /> <br /> Octavo 7 3/8 x 4 3/4 inches; 187 x 121 mm. 1-8 9-159 1 blank pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's gray cloth front cover and spine lettered in red top edge stained red. Original color printed dust jacket spine faded with the lightest rubbing to extremities. A fine copy in an excellent dust jacket.<br /> <br /> An intriguing hybrid work in which Steinbeck deliberately blurs the boundaries between drama and prose fiction. Conceived for both stage and page Burning Bright presents a symbolic almost mythic narrative centered on themes of masculinity identity and the desire for legacy.<br /> <br /> Though less commercially successful than his major novels the work represents a bold formal experiment reflecting Steinbeck's continued willingness to challenge conventional narrative structures. <br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A27a.

19501195New York: Viking Press 1950. First edition. About fine in near fine jacket. First printing of Steinbeck's experimental work an amalgam of play and novel similar to OF MICE AND MEN. Expanding on the idea first developed in OF MICE AND MEN - adapting aspects of the theater into the structure of a novel - Steinbeck wrote this "play in story form" about the birth of a long-awaited child. The book was staged the same year with Rodgers and Hammerstein as producers. Neither the book nor the play did well but Steinbeck didn't seem to mind: "We were kicked around like dogs but I still want to do it. This shows a truly pure quality of stupidity. Just nuts. I'm so fascinated by everything about the theatre I don't really care if the show's a flop" Interview NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 18 September 1952. A lovely copy. 7.5'' x 4.75''.

Panels a bit rubbed light edge wear front flap price clipped. <br/><br/>As this book's subtitle explains Steinbeck wrote it as an experiment with producing a play in novel format.

The experiment had already been carried out successfully in "Of Mice and Men" and "The Moon Is Down." The Viking Press hardcover
