Price of $2.50 on front flap.<br /> <br /> "The orchestration of two major themes-flight and refuge-is achieved with overwhelming force in William Faulkner's new novel The Wild Palms. One of the alternating themes deals with the fierce sexual compulsion between a woman who has abandoned her husband and children and a young doctor whose career is wrecked by their tempestuous love affair. In a series of highly dramatic episodes Faulkner portrays first the isolation and then the complete disintegration of a man caught in a passion that borders on madness."

1939142141New York: Random House 1939. Signed limited edition number 14 of only 250 examples. In near fine condition without the usual fading accustomed to this title. Housed in a custom half morocco slipcase. Uncommon in this condition. 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 unknown
