"I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth"; First British Edition of As I lay Dying
First British edition, first issue. Octavo, original blue boards with spine title in silver. Light fading to the spine and some foxing to the text block in a very good dust jacket that shows light wear. Overall a nice copy.
Winner of the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature and the 1955 and 1963 Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction, William Faulkner fiction is an unparalled depiction of the culture Old South and its transition into a new era. As I Lay Dying is a tour de force. "For range of effect, philosophical weight, originality of style, variety of characterization, humor, and tragic intensity, [Faulkner's works] are without equal in our time and country" (Robert Penn Warren). "No man ever put more of his heart and soul into the written word than did William Faulkner. If you want to know all you can about that heart and soul, the fiction where he put it is still right there" (Eudora Welty).
