New York: The Viking Press. 1961.


First edition. 8vo. 202x135mm. pp [6], 152. Quarter cream cloth, blue paper covered boards, spine lettered in blue. Original illustrated dustjacket. Slight creasing to top edge of jacket and chipping to head of spine and three small closed tears to the jacket but otherwise in excellent condition and near fine internally. A very good copy of Matthiessen's third novel which examines the fragility of goodness in the face of all-encompassing evil. Matthiessen was one of the founders of the Paris Review and the only writer to win the National Book Award for fiction and non-fiction. He was an early adopter of LSD for psychotherapeutic purposes and his work explores the intersection of nature and spirituality.
