First edition
Hardcover. First edition. 230pp. Fine in fine dustwrapper with one short tear. A book which grew out of articles on the South for Harper's magazine and developed into a sort of rhythmic stream of conscious journey interspersed with visits with southern literary figures, and includes a visit to Tuskegee where he recreates his student days there, and his friendship with fellow student Ralph Ellison. A wonderful, much underrated book. Item #16405
