COLLECTIBLE FIRST EDITION VERY GOOD 1925 hardcover, clean NEW text, solid binding, NO remainders NOT ex-library, smoke free; slight gentle shelfwear / storage-wear; sixth printing, November WE SHIP FAST. Carefully packed and quickly sent. 2019121205 Dark Laughter is a 1925 novel by the American author Sherwood Anderson. It dealt with the new sexual freedom of the 1920s, a theme also explored in his 1923 novel Many Marriages and later works. The influence of James Joyce's Ulysses, which Anderson had read before writing the 1925 novel, is expressed in Dark Laughter. Dark Laughter was Anderson's only best-seller during his life. Ernest Hemingway parodied Dark Laughter in his early short work The Torrents of Spring. Hemingway's novella mocked the pretensions of Anderson's style and characters. Gertrude Stein, his former mentor, objected to the young writer's parody of a writer who had helped him get published, and they had a falling-out. The novel was included in Life Magazine's list of the 100 outstanding books of 1924-1944. Please choose Priority / Expedited shipping for faster delivery.
