Flannery O'Connor
1952 - Harcourt, New York - First Edition
‘Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it.’
A superb copy, and scarce in such a bright dust jacket without the usual toning, fading or chipping to the spine.
Considered a cornerstone of the southern-gothic genre, this lovely copy of O’Connor’s first book delves into themes of depression, sin, and redemption, while retaining a biting sense of humour. Listed among the Guardian’s list of the 100 greatest novels of all time, this is a powerful exploration of character and motivation, reminiscent in style to other masters such as Kafka, Waugh, and Faulkner.
