Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good Condition. First UK. Dawn Powell (1896 - 1965) was an American novelist, playwright, screenwriter, and short story writer. Known for her acid-tongued prose, "her relative obscurity was likely due to a general distaste for her harsh satiric tone." Nonetheless, Stella Adler and author Clifford Odets appeared in one of her plays. Her work was praised by Robert Benchley in The New Yorker and in 1939 she was signed as a Scribner author where Maxwell Perkins, famous for his work with many of her contemporaries, including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe, became her editor. A 1963 nominee for the National Book Award, she received an American Academy of Arts and Letters Marjorie Peabody Waite Award for lifetime achievement in literature the following year. A friend to many literary and arts figures of her day, including author John Dos Passos, critic Edmund Wilson, and poet E.E. Cummings, Powell's work received renewed interest after Gore Vidal praised it in a 1987 editorial for The New York Review of Books. Since then, the Library of America has published two collections of her novels. Powell's first editions, especially her early books, are relatively scarce. Dust Jackets are particularly scarce. This copy is near fine in red cloth with black titles on the spine. Slight bumping at the spine ends, and slight age darkening of the endpapers and page edges. No other marks or damage. The clipped DJ has minor edge wear with several small chips and tears, and slight soiling. There is a small spot of adhesive residue on the lower jacket spine, apparently where a price tag was removed. Very good overall. . TN.

Beulah "Betsy" Hoagland Marvin was his wife. Dawn Powell (1896-1965) wrote consistently throughout her life, but did not receive many accolades until after her passing. Powell was born and raised in Ohio, eventually moving to New York City to live in Greenwich Village with her husband and son.

Hardcover. First English edition. Boards a bit soiled, else a nice, very good or better copy in poor dustwrapper with large chips missing from the front and back panels. Inscribed by the author: "To Genevieve Norwood with best wishes, Dawn Powell." By consensus the best novel on New York's bohemian life by this satirical, proto-feminist novelist who has only fairly recently been rediscovered. Gore Vidal, whose critical essay helped restore her fame, called her a better satirist than Twain and said she was "our best comic novelist," and Ernest Hemingway once told her she was his "favorite living novelist" - although she was not averse to poking fun at Hemingway himself, which she did in her novel, *The Wicked Pavilion*. Novelist Lisa Zeidner, in a review of the biography of Powell by Tim Page in *The New York Times Book Review*, said that "she is wittier than Dorothy Parker, dissects the rich better than F. Scott Fitzgerald, is more plaintive than Willa Cather in her evocation of the heartland and has a more supple control of satirical voice than Evelyn Waugh, the writer to whom she's most often compared." Powell was an archetypal free spirit, living much of her life in Greenwich Village, taking - and flaunting - lovers frequently (although she was married), and mercilessly skewering the postures and foibles of an array of New York types, from bohemian artists to wealthy tycoons. An exceptionally scarce book, especially signed.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First edition. A couple of pages a little roughly opened with corresponding small tears, thus near fine in fine dustwrapper with a very short tear.

Gore Vidal, whose critical essay helped restore her fame, called her a better satirist than Twain and said she was "our best comic novelist."

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Some foxing and wear to the boards, spine repaired, a very good copy in a supplied, good dustwrapper with a crease on the spine and with small chips and tears. This copy Inscribed but not signed by Powell to her close friend Hannah Green: "To Green, My Queen. Euch." Green made a point of collecting Powell's older books, apparently and as evidenced here, much to Powell's dismay.
