GRAU, Shirley Ann

Evidence of Love

First edition, original setting typescript with numerous manuscript changes and corrections in both the author's and editor's hands. Fine, clean and unstained (though heavily marked-up) sheets laid in a custom cloth clamshell case with a gilt-stamped leather title label. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author's fifth novel, expanded from her short story "The Patriarch." The preliminary sheets are filled with handwritten style and typographical notations; most pages of the novel itself bear handwritten textual changes including spelling corrections, altered phraseology, and the occasional deletion or reworking of entire paragraphs.
