Beschreibung

One of 35 limited, numbered, large-paper copies of the first French edition, with Coindreau's introduction contextualizing American evangelical culture: Billy Sunday and Aimee Semple McPherson to Hazel Motes and his creator. Coindreau, critic and distinguished translator of Faulkner, Dos Passos, Hemingway, was in large part responsible for the wide readership and high esteem enjoyed by eminent American writers in postwar France. An admirer of O'Connor's work, he became her friend in the course of translating her work, visiting her in Andalusia where he "amused himself by filming her peafowl with a movie camera he brought with him" (Samway). In the uncommon original publisher's glassine sleeve. 7'' x 4.25''. Original pale grey wrappers printed in red and black. In original glassine sleeve. 228, [2] pages. Of the first edition, 41 copies were printed on Lafuna-Navarre paper, of which 35 were numbered; this copy no. 33. Wrappers toned at spine and edges. Toning and light wear to glassine. Else clean and sound.
