Description
1960, Holt and Rineheart, and Winston publishing. Dust jacket and hardcover have some normal wear. The pages are clean and the binding is secure.
This hardcover edition of William Fifield’s debut novel, “The sign of Taurus,” published in 1960 by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, offers collectors a glimpse into the early literary career of a writer who would go on to become a respected voice in American fiction. Despite some expected wear to the dust jacket and hardcover, the clean pages and secure binding attest to the care with which this copy has been preserved over the decades.
Set in the author’s native New England, the novel explores themes of family, identity, and the complexities of human relationships through the lens of the astrological sign of Taurus. Fifield’s deft character development and evocative prose capture the essence of small-town life in mid-20th century America, making this work a valuable addition to any collection focused on the literary portrayal of regional cultures and the evolution of the American novel in the post-war era.
