New York: Boni & Liveright, 1923. First Edition. Very Good. First edition, first printing. xi, [v], 239 pp. Publisher's buff cloth stamped in yellow and black. Very Good with light soiling, rubbing, and staining to cloth, wear at tips, slight lean, contents a bit toned with age, a few easily erasable pencil notations to rear paste down. Lacking jacket. Quite rare and much sought-after in decent condition. The first appearance of a classic of modern American fiction and pinnacle of the Harlem Renaissance. In his foreword Waldo Frank dubs it "a harbinger of the South's literary maturity: of its emergence from the obsession put upon its mind by the unending racial crisis-an obsession from which writers have made their indirect escape through sentimentalism, exoticism, polemic, 'problem' fiction, and moral melodrama. It marks the dawn of direct and unafraid creation.
