A lovely association copy, inscribed by the author to American writer and art critic Harold Rosenberg in black ink on the title page: 'For Harold, master of masters[.] Saul'. Bellow would later write a fictional portrait of Rosenberg in his short story 'What Kind of Day Did You Have?' (1984).

First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author; 8vo; light foxing to prelims and endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's quarter blue cloth over blue paper-covered boards, titles to spine in black, with the price-clipped dust-jacket designed by Mel Williamson, hint of sunning to spine, minor rubbing to extremities; housed in custom blue cloth solander box.
