Robert O. Ballou, 1934. Good / Good. Hardcover. First edition, first printing. Spotting on the cloth boards, a good copy in good second issue dustwrapper worn at the extremities and with a modest chip at the crown. A classic Jewish-American novel (as well as a high point of proletarian fiction) about the terrors of a young boy growing up in a squalid and poverty-stricken urban immigrant neighborhood. Forgotten almost immediately upon publication, it was rediscovered in the 1950s and '60s and now stands among the finest novels of the 20th Century. [Attributes: First Edition; In Dust Jacket]
