Man Working 310. Hanna 1166. Coan p. 123. Cooperman p. 160. In 1925 Faulkner moved to New Orleans where he joined a literary circle centered on Sherwood Anderson and was introduced to the modernist innovations of T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. His interest in experimental writing was piqued and he began a novel his first Soldier's Pay portraying the tragic homecoming of a wounded war hero. Though set in Georgia it was nonetheless a kind of rehearsal for the later Mississippi novels full of despair and “mythic motifs of impotence and futile love." The Literary Encyclopedia Wheatley's stylish thrillers and occult novels made him one of the world's best-selling writers from the 1930s through the 1960s. His Gregory Sallust series was a key inspirations for Ian Fleming's James Bond stories.

196247116NY: Random House 1962. The Reivers: A Reminiscence published in 1962 is the last novel by the American author William Faulkner. It was published a month before his death. The bestselling novel was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1963. This copy SIGNED BY FAULKNER is a bit of a mystery. In 1961 Faulkner began writing his nineteenth and final novel The Reivers. On June 17 1962 Faulkner suffered a serious injury in a fall from his horse which led to thrombosis. He suffered a fatal heart attack on July 6 1962 at the age of 64. This book club edition was published in early 1962 so would have been one of Faulkner's last published books to have been signed. Book Club edition in publisher's full red cloth gilt lettering and facsimile signature on the front cover and no gilt stamping or title on the spine! gilt facsimile of author's signature on front cover top edge light red mustard-yellow endpapers Book Club deboss marker on rear cover. Copyright page identical to the trade edition including "First Printing". Possibly an early trial run of the book club edition that would explain why the spine is unlettered Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1963. An unusual interesting and maybe unique copy for the serious Faulkner collector. See all photos. . Signed by Author. Book Club BCE/BOMC. Hard Cover. Very Good. Random House Hardcover
1939147414New York: Random House 1939. First edition first printing of the Nobel Prize-winning author’s grandly inventive heart-stopping classic novel. Octavo original publisher's cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. In this feverishly beautiful novel William Faulkner interweaves two narratives each wholly absorbing in its own right each subtly illuminating the other. In New Orleans in 1937 a man and a woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion fleeing her husband and the temptations of respectability. In Mississippi ten years earlier a convict sets forth across a flooded river risking his own chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman. From these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation survival and self-sacrifice a novel in which elemental danger is juxtaposed with fatal injuries of the spirit. The Wild Palms is grandly inventive heart-stopping in its prose and suffused on every page with the physical presence of the country that Faulkner made his own. Random House hardcover
