Pagan Rabbi and Other Stories, The.
With A Lengthy Inscription
Ozick, Cynthia. The Pagan Rabbi and Other Stories. London: Secker & Warburg, (1972).
8vo.; red cloth, stamped in gilt; tan and red dust-jacket; a pristine copy.
First English edition of Ozick’s first collection of short fiction. With a lengthy inscription to a general reader: April 17, 1976. Esteemed English Reader...Unable to believe in your Being, I herewith invent you–in the hope that you, on your side (of the Atlantic & the vision) will invent me, and that our two imaginings will meet & intertwine (like Donne’s eye-beams-braids) somewhere among these now-ancient pages. With gratitude, Cynthia Ozick.
A lovely copy.
