Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1st Printing. 1st printing. Faint edge wear. 2017 Trade Paperback. The country girls are Caithleen ?Kate? Brady and Bridget ?Baba? Brennan, and their story begins in the repressive atmosphere of a small village in the west of Ireland in the years following World War II. Kate is a romantic, looking for love; Baba is a survivor. Setting out to conquer the bright lights of Dublin, they are rewarded with comical miscommunications, furtive liaisons, bad faith, bad luck, bad sex, and compromise; marrying for the wrong reasons, betraying for the wrong reasons, fighting in their separate ways against the overwhelming wave of expectations forced upon "girls" of every era.

Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition thus. First Omnibus Edition with a "new epilogue by the author." Tall, thick 8vo (235 x 147mm): [8],532pp. Publisher's French blue quarter-cloth over lighter blue paper-covered boards, spine lettered in gold; illustrated dust jacket priced $18.95. Inscribed by O'Brien to American poet Daniel Hoffman, poet laureate of the United States and chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and dated "Dec. 2nd, 1986" (the year of publication). Fine, square, and tightly bound; lightly read (if at all). Brilliant jacket without a hint of fading. O'Brien's momentous debut, banned in Ireland because of sexual content, "charts the progress of two young Irish girls, Kate and Baba, as they escape their rural home place for the relative cosmopolitanism of Dublin. It is no accident that, in the first novel, a turning point in Kate's development is marked by her acquisition of a copy of Joyce's Dubliners [Joyce was hugely influential in O'Brien's writing life, and in 1999 she wrote a biography of him ]. . . . When asked late in his life if he would ever return to Ireland, Joyce gave the famously enigmatic reply, 'Have I ever left it?', and Edna O'Brien's relationship with her home country is complicated in ways that are similarly fraught and complex." (The Literary Encyclopedia) Note: With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable polypropylene sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.

First Edition Signed
First edition of the omnibus edition of Edna O'Brien's The Country Girls Trilogy. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by the author on the title page. From the library of Erica Jong. Jong remains best known for her 1973 novel Fear of Flying which became famously controversial for its portrayal of female sexuality and figured prominently in the development of second-wave feminism. Written in the first person and narrated by its protagonist, 29-year-old American poet Isadora Wing, Fear of Flying was written in the throes of the Sexual Revolution of the 1970s and encapsulated the movementâs redefinition of female sexuality. In interviews, Jong stated: âAt the time I wrote Fear of Flying, there was not a book that said women are romantic, women are intellectual, women are sexualâ"and brought all those things together⦠What [Isadora is] looking for is how to be a whole human being, a body and a mind, and that is what women were newly aware they needed in 1973.â The novel remains a feminist classic and has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Jacqueline Schuman. Irish novelist Edna O'Brien's first novel, The Country Girls (1960), is often credited with breaking silence on sexual matters and social issues during a repressive period in Ireland following the Second World War and was adapted into a 1983 film. It was followed by two sequels The Lonely Girl (1962), and Girls in Their Married Bliss (1964). The trilogy was re-released in 1986 in a single volume with a revised ending to Girls in Their Married Bliss and addition of an epilogue. All three novels were banned by the Irish censorship board and faced significant public disdain in Ireland. O'Brien won the Kingsley Amis Award in 1962 for The Country Girls.
