About This Item
New York: Harper & Bros., 1926. First Edition . Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Plus. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1926. First Edition [stated, and with "L-A" on the copyright page] Octavo, 269 pp. Orange, green and black cloth, spine lettered in gilt, in orange and black checker-design jacket. Volume corners just touched, else a fine book in a very good plus jacket showing tanning at the front fold and trace peripheral wear, NOT price-clipped. Certainly one of the best preserved copies you'll see of John Gunther's first novel. A book which probes the psychology of marriage among the intellectuals living in the shadows of the University of Chicago during the 1920s, The Red Pavilion is the story of Richard and Shirley Northway, whose love thwarts individual creativity, forcing them to live apart. Somewhat ordinary in character and plot choice, Gunther's first novel nevertheless shows his superior stylistic talents at an early age. Nice acquisition for the collector of seminal twentieth century American fiction. See scans. L107
