Description: Author: Cormac McCarthy Title: Outer Dark Publisher: Random House Year Published: 1968 Edition: First Edition, First Printing McCarthy’s second novel, included is a laid in card signed for Orin Borsten! Orin Borsten was a well known Hollywood publicist and he also wrote stage and screenplays. Borsten most famously co-authored the William Faulkner biography, “A Loving Gentleman: The Love Story of William Faulkner and Meta Carpenter”, in 1976. He also has writing credits on the screenplays for “Angel Baby” (1961) and Outer Limits (1963), among others. A fabulous association and one can imagine what drew the two together was a mutual affinity for William Faulkner. The card displays a vintage 1970’s style McCarthy inscription and signature, highly sought after as he signed much more infrequently prior to All the Pretty Horses. Book: VG with some foxing to text block. Spine ends very slightly pushed. Light toning to top edge and topstain. Taut binding, square and sturdy. Sharp corners, clean internally. Nice gilt lettering to spine. Jacket: VG or perhaps a touch better. Chip to top crown and a couple of very small closed tears to top rear panel, some soiling at edges and flap gutters where the jacket is white. The $4.95 price is intact and not clipped. Overall a really neat copy with great association and early McCarthy signature! Note: Check out my other listing for a Child of God which has likewise been signed to Orin Borsten!
