About This Item
This novel of the 1920s is, according to the author, expurgated ("owing to censorship, which has a vogue in America as indiscriminate as all such enforcements of law must be...") So, there are asterisks marking where "sense, continuity, and beauty have been damaged." This, written in the foreword by Djuna Barnes in Paris, August 8, 1927. This book has nonetheless truly lovely illusttations by Barnes, which are another aspect of her talent. This is the first edition of the book, limited to 3000 copies. Condition is very good, tight and unmarked. The front cover has a few spots of white, the spine is discolored, and the tip of the spine has a slight tear.
