PROOF COPY FOR REVIEW
GREENE, Graham.
A burnt-out Case.
London, Heinemann, [1961].
8vo, pp. [viii], 256; numerous contemporary annotations in pencil on recto of half-title; a very good copy in the original printed blue wrappers; slightly soiled and dulled, one or two tiny nicks at edges, notes in pencil on upper cover.
Uncorrected proof copy of the first edition in English. This was evidently used as a review copy, with the upper cover annotated in pencil ‘700 words by Nov 28’. The unknown reviewer has made several notes in pencil on the half-title: ‘Criticism – c[oul]d come from the soc[ial] realist angle’, ‘Dr C[olin] the sceptical humanist’, ‘Q[uerry] was a lapsed believer’, ‘Moral conflict’, ‘Querry first GG hero not to sin’, and ‘a deep – feeling of goodness’.
Wobbe A41a.
