First edition of Flannery O'Connor's first and most celebrated novel. Now considered a classic example of Southern Gothic literature, Wise Blood initially received little critical attention. The book was assembled from a group of stories previously published in literary periodicals, the first chapter being an expanded version of her Master's thesis.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; internally fine; publisher's yellow cloth, titles to spine grey, with the unclipped dustjacket, a little toned at extremities; near-fine; housed in custom slipcase.
