FAULKNER, William. Requiem for a Nun. New York: Random House, 1951.
FAULKNER, William. Requiem for a Nun. New York: Random House, 1951. 8 o . Gray title page, title and publisher's device printed in white, the rest printed in black. Original cloth-backed marbled boards, spine gilt-lettered. Provenance : Ralph Barrocas (ink stamp on half-title). FIRST EDITION, LIMITED ISSUE, number 197 of 750 copies SIGNED by Faulkner. Requiem experiments with narrative technique, being a hybrid of the novel and the play. The protagonist is Temple Drake, a character introduced as a college student in Sanctuary, one of Faulkner's early novels. Requiem for a Nun is perhaps best known for one of Faulkner's most famous lines, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." Massey 219; Petersen A32.1a.
