About This Item

U.S.A.: Random House , 1960. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First Printing 1960. A near fine signed copy of a rare first printing in a likewise very good unclipped dustjacket. Styron's 3rd novel written before "Nat Turner" and "Sophie's Choice". This copy has only light age toning--owner signature to the front pastedown--otherwise would be fine. Clean and unmarked interior--solid cloth boards and spine including lettering. Signed on the title page. The dustjacket is lightly rubbed from shelfwear---and with moderate edgewear to the head and heel of the spine. Styron has proven to be one of America's most accomplished novelists and his recent death in Cape Cod has only brought his work even more to the forefront of American Literature. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for "Confessions of Nat Turner". "Set This House On Fire" takes place in Sambuco Italy.

Synopsis
