Einband stellenweise angeschmutzt, Kopfschnitt leicht fleckig, aber innen sehr sauber und ohne Anstreichungen / Binding soiled in places, top edge slightly stained, but very clean inside and without markings. - COLORED lights hung under the low ceiling- red, blue, and yellow lights. There was a dance floor in the center of the room, with tables surrounding it on three sides, and on the fourth side an orchestra. There were saxophones, trombones, trumpets and fiddles, banjos and flutes and drums a great jazz orchestra. At the tables there were white men and women; and alone on the dance floor there was Glory, standing straight and slender, with the spotlight full upon her, Glory singing the Creole Love Call. There were no words in Glory s song. Glory seemed simply to open her mouth and let her heart find expression in wordless sounds which fluttered up from the dark column of her throat and floated through the thick smoke-blue air of the crowded night club. It was said in Harlem that Glory was the sort of girl who can make a man "see the City," make a man know joy. ISBN 9780405073908 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 495.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Strange Brother, a novel by Blair Niles. First edition. Liveright Publishing indicated in 1937: ?As a general rule we have no marking on the copyright page of our publications to show our first edition, although on subsequent editions we print Second, Third, etc.? The copyright page for this copy of STRANGE BROTHER says only: Copyright 1931 by Blair Niles Manufactured in the United States. XX Book condition: good. The text block is in near fine condition with no tears, dog ears, or marks. Pages are age-toned as are the endpapers, which also are puckering near the gutters. The blue-cloth board is bowed along the long edge of the front cover (less with the back cover). The front and back cover has small white spots and discolorations. One corner is bumped, as is the spine (top and bottom). The title, author, and publisher are clearly visible on the spine. 7 ½ x 5 ½, 341 pages, 13 ounces XX This is a rare book for its time, especially with its depiction of a sympathetic gay male character and its exploration of Harlem's night life (not just the Cotton Club kind of nightspot, but also the jazz and blues clubs for Harlem's predominantly African American inhabitants). Multiple points-of-view are expressed through a gay artist (Mark), his African American friends, an open-minded white divorcee (June) who befriends Mark, an older suitor of June (Seth), various wealthy friends of June, a Sicilian boy (Rico), a flamboyant gay male (Nelly) arrested by an undercover cop, and others. Although the book follows some paths that would become mandatory for the next 30 years in literature, it is often free of the worst clichés about the LGBTQ world. XX Mary Blair Rice, better known by the pen name Blair Niles (1880?1959) was an American novelist and travel writer. She was a founding member of the Society of Woman Geographers. The name Blair Niles was adopted in part from the surname of her late second husband, Robert Niles, Jr. The first wife of oceanographer William Beebe, Niles also wrote under the name of Mary Blair Beebe. She lived among indigenous peoples in Mexico, South America, and Southeast Asia. In 1923, she published Casual Wanderings in Ecuador. Colombia: Land of Miracles followed in 1924, and Peruvian Pageant in 1937. In these books she linked contemporary culture with the past by exploring history, traditions, and legends. She visited the notorious Devil's Island in 1926 and recorded the life of a prisoner there (René Belbenoit) in her 1928 best selling biography: Condemned to Devil's Island. The international sensation caused by this book led to prison reforms. Her 1931 book, Strange Brother, was a gay-themed novel (her only work in that genre) set in New York City during the Harlem Renaissance.
