Stein s first book. 1,000 copies were made. With original dark blue vertical runkled leatherette, also called vertically ribbed cloth (but shiny cloth so one isn t sure). Very good to fine inside and out. And what writing. Richard Wright thought her Melanchtha section of "Black" language the closest to the real, with all its aesthetic artifice, predating the notion of distanciation by a decade, not to mention just being a great continuing monologue of a book, a monologue extirpated by the subject being simultaneous object for us. As usual without dustjacket.

A novel consisting of three separate stories, exploring the lives and experiences of three women.
