Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Heavy octavo, "First Published by Angus & Robertson (U.K.) Ltd 1974" -- though in fact there was an earlier edition, in 1938. Very good in a "near fine," price-clipped jacket. Dated "Stanhope 3rd May 1976" and signed by the author to the title page. Financial intrigue in the Paris of the 1930s. This was the third novel by the Australian Marxist, who penned "Seven Poor Men of Sydney" (1934); "The Beauties and Furies" (1936), "House of All Nations" (1938, based on her years working at a banking house in Paris) and most notably "The Man Who Loved Children" (1940, apparently based on her own childhood with a domineering father.) She taught "Workshop in the Novel" at New York University in 1943 and 1944, and also worked as a Hollywood screenwriter in the 1940s, contributing to the Madame Curie biopic and John Ford's "They Were Expendable." Her sixth novel, "Letty Fox: Her Luck" (1946) was banned in Australia as "amoral and salacious." It was not until the poet Randall Jarrell wrote the introduction for a new American edition of "Man Who Loved Children" in 1965 that the novel began to receive a larger audience. In 2005, Time magazine included that work in their "100 Best Novels from 1923-2005," and in 2010 American novelist Jonathan Franzen hailed that 1940 novel as a "masterpiece" in The New York Times. Signed copies of any of her works are scarce. 787 pp. Reduced from $480. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 007578
