First Edition of Philip Roth's When She Was Good; Signed by Him
ROTH, PHILIP.
When She Was Good.
New York: Random House 1967.
First edition of Roth’s second novel. Octavo, original cloth. From the library of Christopher Lasch, with his name to the front free endpaper. Lasch was a historian, moralist, and social critic who was a history professor at the University of Rochester. Lasch sought to use history as a tool to awaken American society to the pervasiveness with which major institutions, public and private, were eroding the competence and independence of families and communities. He strove to create a historically informed social criticism that could teach Americans how to deal with rampant consumerism, proletarianization, and what he famously labeled the “culture of narcissism.” Very good in a good dust jacket. Jacket design by Roy Kuhlman.
