Passage from Home

New York: The Dial Press, 1946.

Price: $200.00

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in near fine dustwrapper with a tiny chip at the crown. First and only novel by a Chicago author who grew up with Saul Bellow (and worked on their high school newspaper together). Rosenfeld was an influential Jewish-American author, but died overlooked at age 38. He was the inspiration for the character King Dahfu in Bellow's *Henderson the Rain King*. Scarce, especially in this condition.
