Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj) Leo Manso (illustratore). 4th printing. (price-clipped) [good sound copy with only minor shelfwear, the 5th of the book's 8 signatures (i.e. pp. 141-172) printed on cheaper paper and thus notably age-toned, one-time owner's signature on front endpaper, vintage bookseller's label (Paul Elder & Co., San Francisco) on rear pastedown; the jacket is worn at edges and extremities, with a small bit of surface insect-nibbling near the bottom of the rear panel]. The author's first novel, a psychological horror tale set in a small town on Cape Cod, about a young woman (the book's narrator) who enters into a loveless marriage to escape her abusive father (who rapes her at the age of 14), only to be subsequently abandoned and divorced by her husband. She becomes something of a recluse, until coaxed out of her isolation by a local groceryman, with whom she enjoys a budding romance -- until her ex-husband returns to town with a new (pregnant) wife, and moves in next door to her. Then, in the words of one contemporary review: "Obsessed by envy and rivalry, by her own inadequacies, the advent of Ed's baby adds the final touch to her brooding, bitter unhappiness and ---." (Sorry, I've already given you enough spoilers. No more!) One contemporary reviewer described the book thus: "Crackling with suspense, a story filled with emotional anguish and fearsome passion, [the novel] is a triumph for the author. Eerie and gruesome, yet haunting and deeply sincere, it achieves heroic stature because it creates an impression unforgettable." It was also announced shortly after its publication that the movie rights to the book had been acquired by agent-turned-producer Charles K. Feldman, but no film was ever made. However, Wolfson (already an established playwright when this book appeared) later dramatized it himself under the title "American Gothic"; it was staged at the Circle in the Square theatre in Greenwich Village in 1953, starring Clarice Blackburn and the then-unknown Jason Robards Jr., under the direction of Jose Quintero -- who later gave Robards his big break in his 1956 production of O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night.".

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Sol Immerman (illustratore). First Edition. [modest shelfwear to top and bottom edges, old gift inscription (non-authorial) on front pastedown; jacket has some shallow chipping along top edge, split halfway up from bottom along front flapfold, various small nicks and closed tears]. The first book by this Georgia-born author, who worked at various times as a social worker, library assistant, clerk-typist, teacher, advertising copywriter, and book reviewer. She was later to gain a minor reputation as a mystery novelist, with six novels and dozens of short stories (mostly published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and similar digest pulps) to her credit. Her entry in "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers" notes the affinity and empathy she exhibited throughout her fiction to disadvantaged and socially isolated people, particularly elderly women, and ascribes it to her experiences as a social worker -- but from what's known of her life, it seems like she could just as well have seen herself in that class as well. (Critic Christopher Fowler, writing in The Independent in 2014, sketched this portrait of her: "She read avidly, stored books in her oven, and would only eat in restaurants with linen napkins. She lived austerely, took care of a sick mother, travelled alone and liked teddy bears" -- also noting that she had "abandoned writing after becoming completely deaf, and concentrated on charity work.") This particular book, which predates all her other published writing by about five years, both stands apart from it and yet is all of a piece with it -- it's "unclassifiable," per the publisher's blurb, "not a novel, not a book of short stories. It contains 26 chapters, each the autobiographical sketch of a human being, as he or she tells his story is his own words to a case worker." The author provides only the briefest sociological overlay, noting in a half-page introductory note that "the people in this book talk to someone called a case worker. Their confidence has been respected and they cannot be identified." (Note that she all but removes herself from the equation, too: although we learn from the author-bio jacket copy that the author "has been employed as a social worker since October 1939," she makes absolutely no attempt to position herself as the specific receptor for any of these narratives.) The book just plunges straight ahead with its 26 tales of "love and hate and human dignity and of the anguish caused when minds and hearts and bodies go unfed.".
