Stock Code 112376
London, Jonathan Cape, 1929
A profile of Hemingway by Dorothy Parker in The New Yorker in November marked the point at which the author 'passed beyond fame into living legend' (Lynn, Hemingway). 'Its success was so enormous that it may be said to have ended Hemingway's influence as a writer. After it one could no more imitate that musical crystal-clear style; blown like glass from the white-heat of violence...' (Connolly).
First UK edition, first impression, with 'serious' misspelled on p.66; 8vo; light offsetting to endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's magenta cloth, gilt lettering to spine, with the unclipped dust-jacket by Lee Elliott, slightly toned, some creasing to rear panel, slight chipping to spine ends, else very good.
