Description:
Toronto: William Briggs Book. Illus. by Leslie L. Benson. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Canadian edition.. Small octavo. No date [1918]. According to IMDb, Macfarlane was a railroad clerk, pastor and an actor before becoming a writer. Unable to come to grips with his failing health, he shot himself on the steps of the San Francisco morgue. Far be it from me to argue with IMDb. Red cloth w/yellow bell illustration/black lettering to front cover, black spine lettering, 458 pages. Light wear to corners/spine ends, lightly dusted/tanned edges, small bookseller's tag to bottom of rear pastedown, in dust jacket w/light edgewear, mild chipping, a bit of scuffing, impressions, faint soil, moderate wear to folds. A nice copy of a scarce edition seldom found in a dust jacket..

42 pp. 26,5x19 cm. Gravures de Dim. Galanis. Editions d'Art de Cusenier, Paris, 1925. Édition numérotée, No. 3058 (tirage inconnu). --- "Dans une plaquette de grand luxe, intitulée "Le Musée de la Double Soif" et éditée par Cusenier à la gloire de ses vieilles liqueurs, le maître Edmond Haraucourt a magnifiquement écrit l'Histoire du Vase et de la Coupe: amphores des Anciens, vaisseaux somptueux de la Renaissance, symboliques enveloppes que les artistes de tous les temps ont créées avec amour, autant pour satisfaire leur soif d'idéal que pour contenir les breuvages les plus nobles. Cette grande tradition d'art, trop abandonnée, réapparaît aujourd'hui sous l'impulsion de Cusenier qui a demandé à nos plus grands artistes du Verre et de la Céramique des oeuvres dignes de loger ses grandes liqueurs: les maîtres Lalique, Lachenal, Herbst collaborent déjà à cette renaissance".

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
