What's Become of Waring
Anthony Powell
POWELL, Anthony (1905-2000). What's Become of Waring. London: Cassell and Company Limited, 1939.
First edition, scarce in the dust-jacket. RBH records just three copies in the jacket in over 50 years. Powell, best known for his monumental A Dance to the Music of Time, drew on his own personal experiences working at Warner Bros. and Duckworth to portray the chaotic atmosphere of publishing and literary circles and create the novel's cast of larger-than-life characters. Largely set at the fictitious publishing house Judkins and Judkins, it centres on the disappearance of a travel writer.
Octavo. Original orange cloth, spine lettered in blue (extremities very lightly rubbed); original pictorial dust-jacket by Arthur Barbosa (short closed tears and a couple of small chips to edges, lightly dust-soiled); housed in modern burnt orange half morocco clamshell box, spine lettered in gilt.
