Garden City, Doubleday, 1978. Her surprisingly scarce second novel. After a well-received first book, State of Grace, this book received a scathing review in the New York Times, which reportedly killed its sales and its chances for critical recognition. Some redemption occurred in 2018 when a 40th anniversary edition was published, and it was universally recognized as a classic. The original Times reviewer, Anatole Broyard, had passed away in 1990. A near fine copy in a very good dust jacket, with wear at the folds and edges. [#035336] SOLD
