TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

Williams (Tennessee) The Night of the Iguana, first edition, signed presentation inscription from the author "To Bob Wilson" to endpaper, photographic frontispiece, original cloth, dust-jacket, light browning to spine, minor chipping and rubbing to tips of spine and corners, an excellent example, [Crandell A25.1.a.], 8vo, New York, New Directions, 1962.

⁂ An excellent example of arguably Williams' last major work, scarce inscribed. A loosely inserted note of provenance states that the recipient was likely Robert A. Wilson (1922-2007) who owned and ran the Phoenix Bookshop in Greenwich Village, which became an important literary hangout for the city. The note also states that this copy was acquired from the Gerhardt Foundation of Chicago.
