Three Novels: Summer in Williamsburg; Homage to Blenholt; Low Company

New York: Basic Books, Inc.. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1961). First Edition Thus. Hardcover. [nice-looking copy, minimal shelfwear to book; the jacket is tanned along the spine (as typical with this title, although less severely than other copies I've handled), with a few small edge-nicks and some minor surface deterioration near the top of the front panel]. The first omnibus edition of Fuch's novels set in the Jewish immigrant community of Brooklyn, which somewhat later on was dubbed the "Williamsburg Trilogy" after the neighborhood in which the books were set. The novels were originally published in 1934, 1936 and 1937 respectively; the last of the three was adapted (by Fuchs himself, purportedly with uncredited contributions by Dalton Trumbo) for the 1947 movie THE GANGSTER, in which the characters were, somehow, no longer Jewish at all. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
