Women With Nets

New York: Brentano's. Very Good in Good+ dj. 1932. 2nd printing. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [book bumped at top corners, otherwise a solid clean copy; jacket has a shallow chip at top of front panel, small piece missing at bottom corner of rear panel, general edgewear and light soiling]. Novel set in post-World War I Berlin, centering around four women – "women past their youth and bored with marriage, who lay snares for the unwary young men of more talent and charm than resources." Apparently the author's only novel; per the jacket blurb he had spent the preceding three years in Germany "contributing short stories and articles to various magazines there and in this country" – and, one might wonder, not having the best of luck with the ladies? .
