(JOYCE, James). BECKETT, Samuel and others
Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work In Progress
First edition. With letters of protest by G.V.L. Slingsby and Vladimir Dixon. Self-wrappers as issued. Mostly unopened. A tiny chip at one corner of the front wrap else very near fine. Prospectus for the book laid in. Contributors include Samuel Beckett, Marcel Brion, Frank Budgen, Stuart Gilbert, Eugene Jolas, Victor Llona, Robert McAlmon, Thomas McGreevy, Elliot Paul, John Rodker, Robert Sage, and William Carlos Williams. Beckett's contribution is his first appearance in print. A tribute to James Joyce that also contains brief quotations from Work In Progress including text which was not later incorporated into Finnegans Wake. The "Letters of Protest" are reputed to have been written by Joyce himself. A very nice copy.
