Steven Marcus, ed., "The World of Modern Fiction," Simon & Schuster, 1966. First edition, first printing. Two volumes housed in slipcase.
A two-volume set which features work in full or in part by Paul Bowles, Thomas Pynchon, Grace Paley, Jean-Paul Sarte, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Samuel Beckett, Albert Camus, Muriel Spark, Dazai Osamu, Jorge Luis Borges, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Doris Lessing, and many more.
Slipcase dinged at all corners, with bottom corners splitting from opening, some amount of rubbing wear to all surfaces. Books themselves have slightly faded spines and a little spotting at white page edges, though top edges and boards remain clean, both overall in VG+ shape.
