Sobre este item
First edition, first printing. Barbara Comyn's second novel, set in 1930's London, is an intense and dark account of a marriage's failure, childbirth, and financial difficulty. Our Spoons goes into significant details about an arduous pregnancy and delivery, and as Emily Gould notes in The Paris Review, this was provocative and unusual for 1950. She explains, "Comyns elevates what might have been a commonplace melodrama about a girl led astray into much more unusual sort of novel."
A cult classic by an underrated writer. Incredibly rare and highly desirable.
Hardcover, 223 pp. Green cloth binding, very slight toning on edges and almost imperceptible wear on the top and bottom edges of the spine. Original jacket, shows age related darkening, toning of the spine and signs of wear around the edges, and a minor scratch on the centre of the front cover. Significant foxing in the edges of the book, no markings or annotations. Binding is intact. Overall in very good condition.
