About this Item
Description:
Scarce. The book has sound hinges and is not cocked. Something was blacked out with marker on the first free endpage, and the line leached through to the following page. Remaining pages are clean, unmarked and undamaged. Exterior covers are clean and the copper, silver and red lettering and design on the front cover and spine are clean and bright. There are a couple of barely visible scuff marks on the front and back covers. No bumped corners or evident rub wear to edges. The dust jacket is not pricel-clipped. Front panel, spine and inside rear flap are clean. Back panel shows just the slightest soiling and the inside front flap has a few tiny speckles of black but is otherwise clean. Wear to top and bottom edges of the jacket includes stress lines and small chips and tears, none of which exceeds about 1/4" in depth. A clear archival sleeve has been put on the jacket to keep it looking great. Book, dust jacket and sleeve will be bubble-wrapped and carefully packed in a sturdy box to ensure safe transit.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. Octavo. Slight bumping and wear to spine ends, else about fine in rubbed and price-clipped very good dust jacket with a few small nicks and tears. Laid in is a Typed Letter Signed ("Loren Wahl") to Dr. Noel J. Cortes dated in 1951, responding to Cortes' inquiry of the publisher inquiring about purchasing the manuscript of this novel; Wahl offers to discuss it with him. Wahl published a second novel in 1959, *Confetti For Gino*, under the name Lorenzo Madalena. Like John Horne Burns' *The Gallery*, *The Invisible Glass* is set among American service personnel serving in Italy during World War II. A doomed love story which breaks three taboos: love between men, love across the racial divide, and love between an officer and an enlisted man. Contemporary critics were dismissive of the novel's gay content, preferring instead to commend it (where they commended it at all) for its sympathetic and insightful handling of the role played by black servicemen during the war. A better than usual example of a very scarce title, one much more candid in its treatment of homosexuality than *The Gallery*, which it resembles. Slide, *Lost Gay Novels*, p. 46.
