BUECHNER, Frederick. A Long Day’s Dying (Review copy).
BUECHNER, Frederick. A Long Day’s Dying (Review copy). New York: Knopf. 1950. First edition. Buechner’s critically acclaimed first novel about a group of lonely, empty individuals too preoccupied with themselves to notice their each goings-on. It also involves a most unfortunate death of a dear old monkey. Upon publication, it and Buechner garnered much interest. On the front flap, Malcolm Lowry was pleased enough to suggest he had not an ounce of criticism to give, stating Buechner ‘has the type of mind from which various things are liable to appear fully blown and more or less perfect in their own right’. Critic, David Daiches was also very supportive in the New York Times, and this is Daiches’ copy he read to write that glowing review, with his signature at the front endpaper. A very good book in a good to very good unclipped dust jacket, some chips, nicks and rubbing to most edges—presumably Daiches was an especially fidgety reader. A nice copy.
