Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Dog

Häftad bok. New Directions Publishing Corporation. Seventh Printing uppl. 160 sidor.

Gott skick. Engelsk text. The "Young Dog" of the title is of course Thomas himself, and this volume of autobiographical stories by the great modern poet, who died at 39 while on his third lecture tour in the United States, shows his waggish humor at its best, his exuberance and verbal magic in spectacular display. It also shows him a spinner of tales and a creator of memorable characters. There is the grandfather who marches off in his best clothes to be buried in the next town, the sardonic "senior reporter" on a provincial newspaper, servant girls who know how to deal triumphantly with a fast-talking dandy, a twenty-year-old farmer preaching wildly to boys in a deserted barn, a group of respectable worthies who play at literature behind closed blinds, and always the observant and unfazed young Thomas. Denna häftade bok år lite gulnad pga papperskvalitén och har också med typ en tumme upptill till höger gjort att det är en viss veckning genomgående av bokens sidor. På insidan av första omslag sidan finns ett papper med egen text på svenska med dikt med anknytning till bokens tema!!
