McCULLERS, Carson. REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE. Boston: Houghton 
Mifflin, 1941. First Edition. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author for 
George [Davis] "Who is my Best and Campiest Friend-- /And who, also, is 
the first/person to really take to this book-/You have helped me 
and/encouraged me in all ways/that were in your power-/And you know that 
I love you./Carson." Davis, a magazine editor who later married Lotte 
Lenya, made his house in Brooklyn into something of an artists colony 
serving as a home at various times for McCullers, W. H. Auden, Benjamin 
Britten, Paul Bowles, Gypsy Rose Lee, and others. Davis discovered the 
manuscript for REFLECTIONS, which according to Virginia Spencer Carr in 
THE LONELY HUNTER: A BIOGRAPHY OF CARSON MCCULLERS, lay dormant in a 
dresser drawer for almost a year (page 99), and urged McCullers to let 
his magazine, Harper's Bazaar, publish it. The author's inscription 
clearly shows her gratitude to Davis for his instrumental role in 
getting this, the twenty-four year old's second book, published. Made 
into a film in 1967 starring Marlon Brando. A magnificent association 
copy. Covers soiled and worn, lacking the dustwrapper. Good in a Fine 
custom morocco-backed clamshell box. (#002947)        $15,000.00
