Romain Gary: Hissing Tales (Ronald Blythe Interest)

From the library of Ronald Blythe

A major writer of French literature of the second half of the twentieth century, Romain Gary is the only author to have won the prestigious Prix Goncourt twice. This collection of short stories, translated by Richard Howard, is the only one to have been published in his lifetime. Review copy complete with compliment slip from the publisher Michael Joseph Ltd. Dust jacket design by Charles Gorham. Compliment slip has Ronald Blythe’s review notes to verso.

Very good condition book in very good dust jacket. Some minor bumping to bottom of boards, moderate foxing to page block and some sunning to dust jacket on spine. Not price-clipped.
