About This Item
New York: Grove Weidenfeld, 1991. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Written in1927 before Miller's international success with "Tropic of Cancer," Tropic of Capricorn" and "Black Spring," then put aside on his return to the U.S. from Paris, "Crazy Cock" was re-discovered after Miller's death by his biographer, Mary V. Dearborn. Partly autobiographical, it is the story of Tony Bring, a writer living in New York's Greenwich Village in the 1920s, bewildered and lost when his wife, Hildred, begins a lesbian relationship with an woman named Vanya. With an introduction by Dearborn and a foreword by Erica Jong. A small remainder "dot" on the bottom edge of the text, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows only a touch of surface and edgewear, no tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy of this early example of Miller's writing, several years before he found his mature voice.
