WILDER, Thornton. OUR TOWN. New York: Coward-McCann, Inc., (1938). First
Edition. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a touchstone of
American theater. After reading this play, Albert Einstein wrote a
letter to Wilder comparing OUR TOWN to Homer's ODYSSEY and Shakespeare's
HAMLET, stating: "That an American of the present day can create with
such delicacy and detachment touches the soul like a miracle." Just a
touch of sunning to the spine; slight foxing to the fore-edge of the
bulked text which is slightly cocked; owner name on verso of front
endpaper. Near Fine in a just about Fine dustwrapper. (#019010)
$2,000.00
