About This Item
London: Chatto and Windus, 1933. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good+. Original blue cloth, gilt-stamped lettering on spine. Inscribed by Faulkner on the title-page, to Else, Faulkner's liaison when he visited Stockholm to collect the Nobel prize. Book is fine, in a very nice example of the scarce dustwrapper (price-clipped, scuffed along the edges).
Faulkner met Else Jonsson (1912-1996) when he visited Stockholm in December 1950 to receive the Nobel Prize. Else was the widow of journalist Thorsten Jonsson (1910–1950), reporter for "Dagens Nyheter" in New York from 1943 to 1946, who had interviewed Faulkner in 1946 and introduced his works to Swedish readers. At the banquet in 1950 where Faulkner and Else met, publisher Tor Bonnier referred to Else as widow of the man responsible for Faulkner being awarded the prize. They had an affair that lasted until the end of 1953.
