McCullers, Carson Reflections In A Golden Eye
Boston Houghton Mifflin 1941 First Edition
Good+ in the publisher's two-toned beige/gray cloth. The spine is stamped in black; the front and rear boards in black and yellow. 183pps. No dustjacket.

Internally clean and bright; no previous ownership markings. The author's second novel, later made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, and John Huston.
