Originally publishing under her first married name, Helen Ferguson, she adopted the name Anna Kavan in 1939, not only as a pen name but as her legal identity. "Asylum Piece" (1940), a collection of short stories which explored the inner mindscape of the psychological explorer, was her first book under the name Anna Kavan, heroine of her previous novels "Let Me Alone" (1930) and "A Stranger Still" (1935). All subsequent works would feature a radically altered writing style. From that moment, the brunette Ferguson disappeared and the crystal-blond Kavan set about a career as an avant-garde writer using her legal name in the United States.' [Wiki] ***'It would be difficult if not impossible to mention any new writer during the past few years whose work has had as much attention from the leading critics as Anna Kavan's "Asylum Piece". This book has had a limited but steadily increasing sale since its publication in 1940. For the time being it is not readily available and only a lucky chance would discover a copy on a bookseller's shelves. Miss Kavan's new book "I am Lazarus" continues the vein of "Asylum Piece", being a series of short stories and sketches of people on the border of complete mental breakdown, depressed and on the point when to continue living is almost intolerable. Reviewing "Asylum Piece"Mr. Desmond McCarthy said -- "Miss Kavan is an artist of great distinction. What is remarkable is that the subject of these short stories not only kept the lamp alight in the fog impending insanity but was able to project dramatically the experience of fellow sufferers. There is beauty in these stories which has nothing to do with their pathological interest and is the result of art."' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the true first edition, produced to wartime economy standards, in its original thin boards, complete in its fragile 1945 dustwrapper. The book was produced "in complete conformity with the authorized economy standards", and is a difficult title to find now in collectable condition in first impression in collectable condition. Copies in the original and complete dustwrapper are exceptionally hard to find now. A superior copy, of interest to collectors of the work of Anna Kavan (Helen Ferguson). ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. 256 pages. Illustrations. Appendix: Fact Sheet. Awards. DJ has wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. Embossed stamp of previous owner on Dedication page. Plate signed by Loretta and Helen on the Dedication page. All copies reported as signed thus. Loretta Young (born Gretchen Young; January 6, 1913 - August 12, 2000) was an American actress. Starting as a child actress, she had a long and varied career in film from 1917 to 1953. She won the 1948 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the 1947 film The Farmer's Daughter and received an Oscar nomination for her role in Come to the Stable in 1949. Young moved to the relatively new medium of television, where she had a dramatic anthology series, The Loretta Young Show, from 1953 to 1961. The series earned three Emmy Awards and was rerun successfully on daytime TV and later in syndication. In the 1980s, Young returned to the small screen and won a Golden Globe for her role in Christmas Dove in 1986. Here is the frank, personal revelation of a glamorous actress -- Hollywood's most awarded star. Upon a canvas of rich autobiographical incident, this portrait discloses the dreams and disappointments, the weaknesses and the strength of a radiant woman who group, in and with Hollywood. Its studio stages are her "home town." First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. A true first edition, published by The Bodley Head in 1937. ***Very good in green cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright. Top edge of text-block stained green by the publisher, to match the boards. Small stain to top (green) edge of text-block (but not affecting the interior pages). No inscriptions. Boards clean with just some fading at the bottom of the spine. Narrow strip to lower edges of front and back boards slightly browned. No creases or tears to the cloth. Very slight reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good, with clean pages - just some light foxing to the first and last few pages. Interior pages have only a hint of very light sporadic foxing. No creases or tears. ***In a very good colour printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 7s 6d net. The dustwrapper is complete, with just slight edge wear and small closed tears to the edges. Head and tail of spine of dustwrapper slightly creased with small nicks. Very small loss and rubbing to the top corners, with a small pin hole to the edge of the back flap. Back panel of dustwrapper slightly discoloured (being a white background). Front panel and spine of dustwrapper bright. No fading. ***192 mm x 140 mm. 302 pages plus one-page publisher's advertisement of author's other titles "Goose Cross', and 'A Stranger Still' at the back of the book. ***'The book is the story of a struggle in a young man's nature of two opposing forces, one of which urges him to escape the painful realities of life through wealth, which alone seems to him to give its possessor leisure and opportunity for the appreciation of beauty, while the other, with equal insistence, forces him into the fight that is being waged to set that beauty free for all mankind. --- It shows something of the conflict in which the gentle, the innocent, the dreamers of this world inevitably become involved with cruelty, ugliness and oppression. Swithin's struggle is one in which every reader, to a greater or lesser event, has shared; its echo is to be found in every human heart. --- Helen Ferguson has written in Rich Get Rich, a beautiful and moving book, which helps the reader to think as well as to feel.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A very scarce, collectable pre-war Helen Ferguson (Anna Kavan) true first edition in the original dustwrapper. All of Helen Ferguson's pre-war titles are very elusive, even more so in the original dustwrappers. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

FIRST EDITION, a couple of very faint spots to prelims, receding into text, pp. 212, [8, publisher's list], crown 8vo, original sage cloth, backstrip and upper board lettered in black, textblock edges very gently toned, tail edge roughtrimmed, a few very faint spots to free endpapers, dustjacket with the backstrip panel very gently browned (slightly more so at head), very good. A superb copy of the first work published by the author under the pseudonym for which she became known, following six books as Helen Ferguson (her married name) - her new nom-de-plume drawn from the downtrodden wife of her second novel, a typically dark source. It is a 'collection of sinister and surreal short stories dealing with topics like paranoia, drug addiction, mental illness, and the inmates of private clinics' (ODNB), all rooted in her own harrowing experiences - but transcending, as Desmond MacCarthy observed in his Sunday Times review, 'their pathological interest' and achieving a 'beauty in the stillness of the author's ultimate despair'.…
