LITERARY INTERESTS – a group of 9 books from Lee Radziwill’s personal library, several inscribed to her by the authors or other friends as gifts. 20th century.
Widely read across genres, Lee Radziwill had an extensive and eclectic library. These books selected from her shelves reveal the range of her interests (and relationships with writers). This lot includes inscribed copies of leftist author Guy Endore’s King of Paris and Kennedy-favorite John Kenneth Galbraith’s The Great Crash 1929, as well as an uncorrected proof of Joyce Carol Oates’s Vanished Splendors. Other authors include T. H. White, Renata Adler, and John Donne.
9 volumes, octavo. Most in original publisher’s bindings with jackets, one uncorrected proof in wrappers, and a book in half morocco over marbled boards.
