‎PYLON‎

‎New York: Harrison Smith and Robert Haas Inc 1935. First printing. Very good minus in very good minus jacket. First edition of Faulkner's novel set among the trick pilots and wing-walkers of a fictionalized New Orleans. PYLON formed the basis for a 1957 Rock Hudson film directed by Douglas Sirk and praised by Faulkner as the best screen adaptation of any of his works. No Hollywood production however could replicate the effect of the novel whose cascading phrases - "rushing in a light curbchannelled spindrift of tortured and draggled serpentine and trodden confetti pending the dawn's whitewings - spent tinseldung of Momus' Nilebarge clatterfalque" - give to the reader something of the effect of falling out of a plane. 7.5'' x 5''. Original gilt-stamped black and blue cloth. Black topstain. In original unclipped $2.50 blue and black pictorial dust jacket. 315 1 pages. Offsetting to endpapers and jacket flaps faint imprint of erased inscription to front free endpaper faint foxing to fore-edge. Moderate edgewear spine toning and a few small chips to jacket.

‎New York: Harrison Smith and Robert Haas 1935 First edition first printing. Limited to 310 individually numbered copies signed by Faulkner. Original publisher's three-quarter blue cloth-backed silver foil-covered boards with illustration of a plane to the front cover spine lettered in silver silver top edge; original publisher's paper-covered slipcase with title label to front board and spine. About fine with some slight fading to the spine; in the extremely fragile slipcase with some wear along the edges and completely free of any of the usual repairs or restoration. An excellent example scarce in this condition. Housed in a custom quarter leather box. Pylon tells the story of a trio of airplane barnstormers stunt pilots who live on the outskirts of society. An unnamed reporter intrigued and enamored by the trio's unique lifestyle becomes emotionally invested in the trio which ultimately leads to tragedy. Following the financial success of his novel Sanctuary 1931 and writing for Hollywood Faulkner took up flying in the early 1930s which gave him much of the raw material for Pylon. It is one of the few books written by Faulkner that is not set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha Country in Mississippi instead set in New Valois an area very similar to New Orleans. The book was adapted into the classic movie Tarnished Angels 1957 directed by Douglas Sirk and starring Rock Hudson. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine.

‎New York: Harrison Smith and Robert Haas 1935. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Second printing a month after the first. Touch of foxing to the topedge and hint of wear at the corners near fine in near fine second issue variant dust jacket with new text on front flap and the rear panel and flap unprinted. Faulkner's novel of barnstorming aviation a pursuit which took his brother Dean's life a few months after the book was published. This copy Signed by Faulkner on the title page: "William Faulkner. Sherman Conn. 25 Oct 1945." The ink has smeared a bit but is easily readable. Although not inscribed this was Malcolm Cowley's copy signed by Faulkner at Cowley's home in Sherman Connecticut where he and other important American authors were frequent visitors. <br /> <br /> Cowley was a poet and literary critic and chronicler of the so-called "Lost Generation" of American expatriates in Paris. While probably best known for his book of poetry Blue Juniata his most important work was his editing of the Viking Portable Library where his selections and criticisms fostered the popularization of those American authors whose reputations and fortunes had suffered between the Wars. William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald both of whom had to some degree disappeared from the landscape of the American literary conversation enjoyed critical resurgences as the result of the Portable editions.<br /> <br /> <br /> Cowley's 1944 Portable Hemingway sold so well that he was able to convince Viking to publish a Portable Faulkner in 1946. William Faulkner was at the time slipping into literary obscurity. By the 1930s he was working as a Hollywood screenwriter and in danger of seeing his works go out of print. Cowley argued for a dramatic revaluation of Faulkner's position in American letters enlisting him as an honorary member of the Lost Generation. <br /> <br /> Robert Penn Warren called The Portable Faulkner the "great watershed" moment for Faulkner's reputation and many scholars view Cowley's essay as having resuscitated Faulkner's career. Faulkner won a Nobel Prize in 1949. He later said "I owe Malcolm Cowley the kind of debt no man could ever repay." A significant association copy. Harrison Smith and Robert Haas hardcover‎

It was an admitted departure for the author as it was one of his few works to be set outside the fictional Yoknapatawpha County instead unfolding in a thinly disguised New Orleans here called New Valois. There a nameless reporter covers the story of a group of flyers on the circuit.
