Prize Stories of 1951: The O. Henry Awards

Descripción

First edition. Crown a bit rubbed, short thin split at the upper shoulder (but sound) and top corner of page edges with a small stain affecting the first 35 pages or so (not the interior), very good and sound in a toned, about very good dust jacket with small chips and tears and some shallow dampstaining along the topedge. A good year for short stories with contributions by William Faulkner ("A Name for the City"), Eudora Welty ("The Burning"), Truman Capote ("The House of Flowers"), Carson McCullers, John Cheever, Evan S. Connell, Jr., John Hersey, Arthur Miller, Jean Stafford, and others. Perhaps most notable for containing the first book appearance of the Frank Rooney story, "Cyclists' Raid," which first appeared in *Harpers' Magazine*. Producer Stanley Kramer used the story as the basis for the 1953 classic film *The Wild One*, directed by László Benedek and featuring Marlon Brando, Mary Murphy, Robert Keith, and Lee Marvin. The first "biker" movie, Brando's Johnny quickly became a pop culture icon and paved the way for James Dean and similar screen rebels. N° de ref. del artículo 569830
