Slesinger, Tess The Unpossessed
New York Simon and Schuster 1934 First Edition Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dj
[good solid copy, light spotting/soiling to page edges, slight fading to cloth at top and bottom edges, minor spotting at bottom of front cover; jacket shows some wear at edges and extremities, overall soiling/browning (probably inevitable due to rough-texture paper used)]. First book by this writer, whose reputation looms a little larger than her limited output (this novel, a story collection, and a handful of mostly-shared screenwriting credits) would suggest. Her career -- hardly unique in this regard -- represents a bridge between the left-wing intellectual world of New York and the brightly-lit (and well-paying) Hollywood writers' pool. Her screenwriting career cannot honestly be said to have amounted to much -- in a decade in Hollywood, her name appeared on the screen fewer than ten times, and several of those credits were shared with her second husband Frank Davis (who also produced a few films). Her last was perhaps her best -- shared credit with Davis on A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN -- but the year of its release (1945) was also the year she died of cancer at the age of 40. "The Unpossessed," on which her posthumous reputation largely rests, is a loosely-structured comic novel following a group of Greenwich Village intellectuals -- very like the crowd she was hanging out with in the late 1920s and early 1930s -- as they found a little magazine. The dust jacket -- strikingly modern in appearance -- is a genuine rarity; alas, the identity of its designer is unrecorded. [=+=]
