[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Theodore Dreiser Association Copy

[Charles Agvent]

DREISER, Theodore. DAWN: A HISTORY OF MYSELF. New York: Horace 
Liveright, Inc., (1931). First Trade Edition. There was also a limited 
signed edition of 275 copies. This copy is INSCRIBED for Ralph Fabri 
"love included" and SIGNED by Dreiser in May of 1931 (The book was 
published May 8.). Fabri was a Hungarian painter who was commissioned to 
paint a portrait of Dreiser's cousin and companion Helen in 1929 and who 
became Helen's confidant as she poured out her troubles over Dreiser's 
womanizing. Dreiser would marry Helen in 1944, a year before his death. 
Fabri, who became a lifelong friend of both Dreisers, was eventually put 
in charge of supervising the construction of Dreiser's monstrous home, 
Iroke, that would prove to be an albatross to the writer in his later, 
more difficult financial years. Some sunning to the spine which has 
minor wear at the head. Very Good, lacking the dustwrapper. (#009312)    
     $1,250
