    Walrond, Eric.
    TROPIC DEATH.

    Edition: 2nd printing (just one month after the first)

    New York: Boni & Liveright, 1926. Hardcover - Ten powerful short stories of Afro-Caribbean life, set in the West Indies, Panama, and the Central American isthmus. An uncommon book (in any original edition) by this Harlem Renaissance writer who was born in Guyana. Although DuBois praised this book for its significance - "Here is a book of ten stories of death, which, with impressionistic pen and little plot, show forth with singular vividness the life of black laborers of the West Indies. There is superstition, unusual dialect, singular economic glimpses; but above all, there is truth and human sympathy" he also called it "hard reading." 282 pp.

    Condition: Fair condition only in dark brown cloth with gold lettering, black and gold illustrated endpapers (front hinge starting, several leaves were carelessly cut open, scattered foxing mostly in margins and some rubbing and shelfwear to the boards - but still a very readable copy of an important book .)
