[Item #13067] Sweet Liberty. SOCIAL FICTION, Clarabelle Eberle RUNDEL, LIBERTARIANISM.

Sweet Liberty

Detroit: Cartwright, Mueller, Benjamin and Robinson, 1944. First Edition. Small octavo (21cm). Cloth boards; dustjacket; 157pp. Inscribed by the author on verso of title page (undated). Endpapers slightly darkened; mild dusting and wear; Very Good. In complete, unclipped dustwrapper, rubbed & lightly soiled with a 3/4" triangular chip at upper extremity of rear panel, still about VG.

Uncommon novel set in war-time Detroit, with odd excursions to the upper-class quarters of Buenos Aires. An ultra-conservative work, with Christian and libertarian overtones bordering closely on the fascistic. Incompetently written, but still a fascinating and seldom-encountered piece of American war-time social fiction. Not in Hanna.

Price: $60.00
