Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Elizabeth Smarts passionate fictional account of her intense love-affair with the poet George Barker, described by Angela Carter as Like MADAME BOVARY blasted by lightning A masterpiece. One day, while browsing in a London bookshop, Elizabeth Smart chanced upon a slim volume of poetry by George Barker and fell passionately in love with him through the printed word. Eventually they communicated directly and, as a result of Barkers impecunious circumstances, Elizabeth Smart flew both him and his wife from Japan, where he was teaching, to join her in the United States. Thus began one of the most extraordinary, intense and ultimately tragic love affairs of our time. They never married but Elizabeth bore George Barker four children and their relationship provided the impassioned inspiration for one of the most moving and immediate chronicles of a love affair ever written By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept. Originally published in 1945, this remarkable book is now widely identified as a classic work of poetic prose which, seven decades later, has retained all of its searing poignancy, beauty and power of impact. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First Edition
Jacket design by Gerald WIlde (illustrator). First Edition. First Edition of Elizabeth Smart's cult classic, a novel / prose poem based on her affair with English poet George Barker, with whom she had four of his fifteen children. The book was highly controversial upon its initial publication: Smart was summarily dismissed from her post at the British Ministry of Defence and her mother successfully banned its publication in Smart's native Canada, even going further to buy up as many copies as she could that made its way across the pond. Given its small print run of 2000 copies (and her mother's Seek and Destroy mission), the first edition remains rare in any condiiton. Very Good, with spots of sunning to edges and perimeters of spine extending to boards, touches of edge wear, prior owner's name to front free end paper.Internally bright and clean. Good only jacket, with full flaps but significant loss to bottom of rear panel and spine, some chipping and creasing to edges of panels. Beautiful illustrated front panel almost entirely lossless despite the edge wear. Hardcover [octavo] in illustrated dust jacket, red cloth with gilt stamped lettering to spine, 54 pp.
