NY, Farrar, Straus & Cudahy, 1960. Signed by O'Connor in Atlanta on March 18, 1960, the month after publication. The Violent Bear It Away was O'Connor's second novel and the last of her books published in her lifetime; signed copies are of almost legendary rarity, as the author was quite ill by the time it was published. This is a fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with some minor spine sunning and trace wear to the crown, with faint spotting to the rear panel. In a custom clamshell case. A beautiful copy of an uncommon book, and rare signed. [#028503] SOLD
