This Hunger...
New York: Gemor Press, 1945. Ian Hugo.
First Edition. 183 pp. 8vo. Original illustrated paper-covered boards. Five woodblock illustrations by Ian Hugo. Boards show light rubbing and blunting to corners; spine is naturally sunned/browned. Internally clean with firm binding.
Nin explores the internal emotional landscapes of three women, navigating the depths of desire, psychological fragmentation, and the search for self. Ian Hugo's woodblocks, created specifically for this edition, perfectly mirror the surreal and jagged nature of Nin’s prose. This collection marked Nin's first major success in the United States and remains a essential volume for collectors of feminist literature and fine press printing.
