First Love and Other Sorrows

by Harold Brodkey

$500 · Offered by Between the Covers

First edition

Hardcover. First edition. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tad Mosel's copy with his bookplate under the front flap and a small ink date, fine in a crisp, about fine dustwrapper with some very light wear, in a custom cloth chemise and slipcase with leather spine labels. Author's first book. Brodkey wrote exquisitely, if not voluminously, and copies of this collection of stories, all of which first appeared in *The New Yorker*, have become very uncommon.
