First edition

New York: Knopf, 1937. First Edition. Near fine in a dustjacket with some old tape repairs, chips and tears but pretty fresh and very good. His 2nd novel, the tale of an exile trapped in the gathering darkness of a free fall plotline that’s opaque, shrouded in noir, fatally sexual, and alas, broken hearted. Item #1083
