Pablo's Mountain

New York: Crown Publishers. Very Good+ in Good dj. (c.1953). First Edition. Hardcover. [modest shelfwear to lower edges and top of spine, small rubber-stamped (old) price on front pastedown; the jacket has a bit of paper loss at the upper corners of the front panel, moderate soiling and scuffing to the rear panel]. Novel about a Mexican family that settles in New York's Spanish Harlem. "It was a close-knit family, devoted and loving. With high hopes they all set out to make a new home for themselves. But the city was crowded and cruel. New York seemed to have saved all its heartaches, disappointments and disillusionments for the gentle Mexicans, who were overwhelmed by its hardness, violence and vice." The first (and apparently only) novel by this author, who was then a story editor for Columbia Pictures in New York. ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
