O'CONNOR, Edwin. The Edge of Darkness. London: Max Reinhardt. 1961. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s pale red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by Jose de Almeida. A very good copy. The boards with some very mild marks, the corners and tips gently pushed. The binding tight and square, with scattered spots to the textblock edges. The contents clean and generally fine throughout. The dust jacket unclipped, slightly nicked at spine head, mild rubbing elsewhere, but a clean and presentable copy.
A smart copy of the author’s most famous work and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1962. It follows a Roman Catholic priest recovering from alcoholism in New England. The book comes from the library of Scottish author and former SOE agent, Bruce Marshall, who himself converted to Roman Catholicism.
