by Greene, Graham
New York: The Viking Press, 1957. First Edition. Octavo. First printing. Frontispiece 123 pp. The Potting Shed premiered in New York and became an immediate hit. His powerful dramatic talents focus on a theme that has a contemporary association with the miracle of Lazartus raised from the dead. He was a young man haunted by a memory blackout of his life up to his fourteenth year, at which time he experienced something so devastating that it left him unable not only not only to recall the occurrence, but also to feel, to love or to hope. As gripping as a superb detective story. A fine bright copy bound in beige cloth decoratively ruled and lettered in dark green, spine lettering green, in a very good unclipped beige pictorial dust jacket lettered and decorated in green, small edge tear to head and a small, closed tear to upper edge of rear panel, light finger soiling.
