About This Item
London: Sunday Times, 1960. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. Autograph manuscript, signed by Sitwell in blue ink, of her review of Colin Wilson's first novel, "Ritual in the Dark," for the Sunday Times. 4pp on lined paper with corrections in red ink. In her review, Sitwell highly praises the work, as did many other critics of the time. This helped catapult the existential mystery/thriller to great success, and coming on the heels of that of his immensely popular book, The Outsider, helped launch what would be a prolific and influential career for Wilson. Included is a wonderful copy of the first edition published by Gollancz, near fine with light tanning to page block. Jacket shows some wrinkling and edge wear and is complete with scarce publisher's wraparound band.
