Babylon on Hudson

By: Anonymous

Price: $50.00

Publisher: New York, Harper & Brothers: 1932

Edition: First Edition

Seller ID: 17678

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Fair in Fair dj

[a pretty beat-up copy, probably an ex-rental library book although NOT stamped or marked as such in any way; the dust jacket, however, is backed with brown paper and thoroughly glued down at the flaps, which was pretty standard practice for such libraries; in any case, the book is heavily worn (but internally clean and with its binding intact), and the jacket is, well, a mess]. The author of this "distinguished and thoughtful novel about present-day New York" thought it best to cloak himself in anonymity, so "that the personages with whom he is acquainted will not be embarrassed by his prese...

Edition: First Edition

Seller ID: 21769

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Near Fine in Near Fine dj

[nice tight clean copy, minor shelfwear only; jacket very attractive, with just a touch of soiling and a couple of tiny edge-nicks]. The trials and tribulations of an unwed mother -- or, more precisely, a divorcee who gets knocked up by her lover, then refuses his half-hearted marriage proposal, and subsequently suffers "pain, hunger, want." The jacket copy really goes to town, in the best Macaulay house style: "No human experience is so profound and rich in emotion as the long crisis of pregnancy . . . and when the expected child must legally be fatherless then crisis is added upon crisis. ....

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Very Good-

(no dust jacket) [moderately shelfworn copy, with numerous abrasions to cloth along top and bottom edges of both covers, some wear at spine ends, modest bumping at all corners, some discoloration in gutters]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep: "To Robert Rainer[?] / With kindest regards / Frederick Hazlitt Brennan / Santa Ana, Jan. 4, 1944." One of the odder novels you'll ever run across -- as one contemporary reviewer described it, "a singularly unclassifiable mixture of whimsey, dullness, vulgarity and illuminating thought." It's kind of a fantasy-satire in whi...
