195424901New York: Harper & Brothers. Near Fine in Very Good dj. c.1954. Later Printing. Hardcover. nice clean book with just a touch of shelfwear; jacket similarly nice with faint soiling here and here. line drawings In her last published book the author of "My Sister Eileen" writes of the humorous travails experienced by her family when they decided to move from Connecticut to Brussels in 1947 -- how she her husband and their three children "came face to face with French civilization; or vice-versa a report on the startled Bruxellois face to face with them." It's blurbed as a "delightful rib-tickling story" but in retrospect it seems there must have been some desperation behind the light-heartedness: McKenney's husband Richard Bransten committed suicide the year after its publication on Ruth's 44th birthday. She published one final unsuccessful novel in 1956 a piece of historical fiction a genre in which she'd never worked before then went silent as a writer until her death in 1972. The American edition of this book is for some unknown reason much less commonly seen than the British edition. . Harper & Brothers hardcover books

Hardcover. solid copy moderately shelfworn one-time owner's name stamped in purple ink on ffep; jacket is worn along top and bottom edges with a few short tears and associated creasing. The original stories all of which had appeared in The New Yorker chronicling the urban misadventures of two sisters from Ohio who share an apartment in Greenwich Village. The book was adapted for a popular Broadway play and went on to spawn two film versions 1942 and as a musical 1955 a short-lived TV sitcom and the 1953 Broadway musical "Wonderful Town" on which the 1955 film was not based. Eileen herself tragically didn't live to witness any of this property's long multi-media life having been killed in a car crash along with husband Nathanael West in December 1940. The original Harcourt Brace edition went through many printings and the 1942 Columbia Pictures film adaptation was complemented by a tie-in edition issued by Grosset & Dunlap; the present volume fairly uncommon represents an in-between state: although undated it was probably issued sometime between March 1941 when Columbia's purchase of the film rights to the play for $225000 referenced on the front of the jacket was revealed and the release of the film version in September 1942. Ruth McKenney's work was the subject of an admiring reassessment by Laura Lippman in The New York Times of March 15 2018. . Harcourt, Brace and Company hardcover books
