Description
FAULKNER, William (1897-1962). Sanctuary. New York: Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith, 1931.
8vo. Original cloth-backed boards, grey and magenta decorated endpapers [first state], top edge stained black; in unclipped dust jacket (some restoration along edges and fold flaps); morocco-backed folding case.
FIRST EDITION, FIRST BINDING. "Sanctuary was written in haste when Faulkner was tired of never selling; like the stories in These 13, it is Faulkner for the non-Faulknerites, determined to shock... The novel was a popular success though attacked by Wyndham Lewis in his 'Men Without Art' and I offer it here for not liking Faulkner better" (Connolly, The Modern Movement, 69). Peterson A8b.
