A beautiful, collector-grade copy of John Irving?s second novel. This 1972 Random House edition is a cornerstone for any serious collector of modern American fiction.
The Story Behind the Book: A fascinating piece of literary trivia?Irving originally intended to name this novel Love Among the Greths, based on an "Old Low Norse" poem titled Akthelt and Gunnel. He pivoted to the now-iconic title after discovering Walker Percy?s Love Among the Ruins.
Condition: The book is in Very Good condition?internally clean, tight, and square. There is slight, age-appropriate foxing to the top edge of the text block, but the pages remain crisp.
Dust Jacket: Very Good; unclipped and vibrant. It shows a single crease to the front flap but is otherwise a sharp, well-preserved example of the original jacket art. Jacket design by Hal Seigal.
Attributes: 365 pages. Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page.
A crisp, well-preserved example of early Irving.
