Bernard Malamud 1st Edition 1st Printing 1952 The Natural Hardcover

Description: Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Co., New York. 1952. 237 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Ex-library item with tape residue present to the boards (library stam present to the half-title page). Bound in plain cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. In it Malamud, usually appreciated for his unerring portrayals of postwar Jewish life, took on very different material-the story of a superbly gifted "natural" at play in the fields of the old daylight baseball era-and invested it with the hardscrabble poetry, at once grand and altogether believable, that runs through all his best work. Four decades later, Alfred Kazin's comment still holds true: "Malamud has done something which-now that he has done it!-looks as if we have been waiting for it all our lives. He has really raised the whole passion and craziness and fanaticism of baseball as a popular spectacle to its ordained place in mythology."
