About this Item
447 pages; title page printed red & black; "First Edition" stated on copyright page. Edna Ferber (1885 - 1968) American novelist, playwright, and short story writer, ".novels reveal her attention to detail and observation, as well as her painstaking research. Giant took thirteen years to become a novel from its initial inception as a backdrop. The novel's 1952 publication caused a stir in the book world, and it evoked a tremendous social response. The reviews both praised and vilified the book; Texans responded with bitterness and anger. Giant approaches Texas with satire and sarcasm, but it also appreciates the vitality of many Texans.Her novels emerge as social commentary on America." (Catherine A. Cucinella in the ANB) Approx. 6" x 8 1/2" size; dustjacket over black cloth covered boards; price of $ 3.95 on inner jacket flap, top edge tinted light orange.
