First Edition Signed
First edition of the Didionās first book. Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by Joan Didion on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Anthony Post. A nice example. Joan Didion's electrifying first novel is a haunting portrait of a marriage whose wrong turns and betrayals are at once absolutely idiosyncratic and a razor-sharp commentary on the history of California. Everett McClellan and his wife, Lily, are the great-grandchildren of pioneers, and what happens to them is a tragic epilogue to the pioneer experience, a story of murder and betrayal that only Didion could tell with such nuance, sympathy, and suspense. "There hasn't been another American writer of Joan Didion's quality since Nathanael West. [She has] a vision as bleak and precise as Eliot's" (John Leonard, The New York Times).

First edition. With TLs from Didion from her East 75th Street apartment back to a friend in Sacramento, in which she muses on the unexpected difficulties of moving (particularly with regard to the unpacking of silver and her typewriter) and considers, wearily, the banal critical reception of her first book: "The general tenor of the reviews I've seen so far of my book seems to indicate that I am a very good writer with a very bad problem, which is that I ought to be (A) in psychoanalysis (B) in love (C) out finding God." The "Sis Kennedy" to whom she refers is likely childhood friend Nancy Kennedy, sister of former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who also makes an appearance, referred to in the letter as "Tony." Didion's first book, written while she published articles mainly for Vogue and at the beginning of her relationship with future husband John Gregory Dunne, was indeed a commercial and critical disappointment, not quite the onramp to literary success that Didion and publisher Obolensky had imagined. Reviews noted the Southern Gothic tone to Didion's tale of a hops ranch and its resident family gone to seed; certainly it forecasts Didion's characteristic skepticism toward things generally being all right in the end. It has since proved itself as a testing ground for Didion, a place in which she worked out the better and the lesser parts of her prose. Bound in full teal cloth showing faint rubs to edges and corners, else an uncommonly fine, bright copy in an equally fine dust wrapper.
