Kingsblood Royal by Sinclair Lewis 1947 HC/DJ; Stated First Edition, G/VG

Description: Kingsblood Royal by Sinclair Lewis 1947 HC/DJ; Stated First Edition, G/VG The dust jacket shows shelf wear, chipping, some tearing, rubbing and slight fading. The tan boards are bright and clean. There is some fading on the spine edge. The binding is tight and secure and straight. The pages have some browning which doesn't impact the readability of the text. There is some foxing to the front and rear paste downs and the end papers. About the book: A neglected tour de force by the first American to win the Nobel Prize in literature, Kingsblood Royal is a stirring and wickedly funny portrait of a man who resigns from the white race. When Neil Kingsblood, a typical middle-American banker with a comfortable life, makes the shocking discovery that he has African blood, the odyssey that ensues creates an unforgettable portrayal of two Americas, one black, one white. As timely as when it was first published in 1947, one need only open today's newspaper to see the same issues passionately being discussed between blacks and whites that we find in Kingsblood Royal, says Charles Johnson. Perhaps only now can we fully appreciate Sinclair Lewis's astonishing achievement.
