About This Item

New York, NY: Quality Paperback Book Club, 2000 Quality Paperback Book Club, New York. 2000. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Reprint edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; surface rubbing to panels. No DJ. Printed card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 296 pp 8vo. Nightwood is the story of a young woman in paris between the wars with her family and whose tragedy is destroy those who come close to her. The narrator is strange character and renegade doctor, Matthew O'Connor who illuminates the action in this first level of the story. Beneath it lies another, the symbolic, which offers even more valuable rewards. Ladies Almanack was written for amusement. The piece of satire depects a lesbian society that she found to be silly and pretentious. Lighthearted, quirky, and presented in mock Elizabethan prose, this is a fascinating look at the early twentieth-century lesbian culture. A clean very presentable copy.

Synopsis

Nightwood is a 1936 novel by Djuna Barnes first published in London by Faber and Faber. An edition published in the United States in 1937 by Harcourt, Brace included an introduction by T. S. Eliot.. Author Charles Henri Ford typed an early version of the manuscript for Barnes during the summer of 1932, and it took Barnes several years to find a publisher. Nightwood is one of the first lesbian novels (or, for that matter, homosexual novels) to be published.
