First edition. Pictorial boards. Small light stain on the edge of the front fly, else fine in lightly rubbed very near fine printed glassine dust jacket. Briefly Inscribed by the author, her avidly collected first book.

Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality, their lives are changed profoundly and, most horribly, they discover how hard it can be to truly live with what they have learned.
