Paperback. Zustand: Good. A philandering professor on the faculty of an Ivy League school is found murdered, setting off ripple effects of anxiety, suspicion, and panic in this Edgar Award-winning classic from 1946. The Horizontal Man was Helen Eustis's only crime novel, and she won an Edgar Award for it, combining a wildly disparate set of elements into an enduringly fascinating work. In its way it is a classical whodunit that stands comparison with old-school practitioners such as Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers. This mystery transpires in the rarefied precincts of the English department of a venerable New England college, one very much of the restless postwar moment, echoing with references to Freud and Kafka. Eustis finds comedy high and low in a cavalcade of characters bursting at the seams with repressed sexual longings and simmering malice. Beyond the satire, she stirs up--with a narrative whose multiple viewpoints give the book a striking modernistic edge--a troubling sense of the mental chaos lurking just beneath the civilized surfaces of her academic setting.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A "good" (but no better) stated first edition of the Edgar Award winning post-war campus mystery with a few scattered smudges to the page edges. NO dust jacket. "First Edition" stated with Harpers' code A-V (for January, 1946.) Fraying to head & heel of spine; no edge markings, but a Womrath's rental library date due slip tipped to Rear Free Endpaper showing this book was borrowed about 15 times at 15 cents per three days, a nickel per overtime day. And wartime economy measures were presumably still in effect, as this slim little 231-page octavo was never a very handsome piece of bookmaking, to begin with. Eustis, known primarily as a translator (from the French) published only two novels, this (her only mystery) winning the 1947 Edgar Award.
