New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1956 Hardcover. First Edition, first printing. Small bump to the edge of the rear board, else near fine in a Near Fine dust jacket with modest professional restoration at the spine ends. The author's second novel, by far the scarcest of his books, and a genuine twentieth-century literary rarity. Not reprinted until recently. Basis for the 1962 film "Lonely Are the Brave," written for the screen by Dalton Trumbo and starring Kirk Douglas. [Book #109319]
