Panels a bit rubbed light edge wear front flap price clipped. As this book's subtitle explains Steinbeck wrote it as an experiment with producing a play in novel format. Rather than providing only the dialogue and brief stage directions as would be expected in a play Steinbeck fleshes out the scenes with details of both the characters and the environment. The experiment had already been carried out successfully in "Of Mice and Men" and "The Moon Is Down." The Viking Press hardcover
1950ref. 1195New York: Viking Press 1950. First edition. About fine in near fine jacket. First printing of Steinbeck's experimental work an amalgam of play and novel similar to OF MICE AND MEN. Expanding on the idea first developed in OF MICE AND MEN - adapting aspects of the theater into the structure of a novel - Steinbeck wrote this "play in story form" about the birth of a long-awaited child. The book was staged the same year with Rodgers and Hammerstein as producers. Neither the book nor the play did well but Steinbeck didn't seem to mind: "We were kicked around like dogs but I still want to do it. This shows a truly pure quality of stupidity. Just nuts. I'm so fascinated by everything about the theatre I don't really care if the show's a flop" Interview NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 18 September 1952. A lovely copy. 7.5'' x 4.75''.
