First British edition of Faulkner's second novel. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by E. R. Bartelt. A very nice example of Faulkner's first comic work.
On a yacht on Lake Pontchartrain, a diverse group of strangely associated people including a social climber, famous writer, sculptor, and Englishman embark on a four-day excursion from the city of New Orleans. Evidently inspired by an similar excursion from Faulkner's own life, the novel offered a tongue in cheek criticism of the repetitive and mundane preoccupations of the New Orleans creative community Faulkner was immersed in at the time.
