A new novel by the author of the
best-selling
The World Next Door
FRITZ PETERS
"The adolescent who is the central figure of
this story seems at once child and adult. His troubles are sexual, both
subtle and crude, as such troubles always are. But when he comes to
Finistere, to Land's End, he is a symbol of many of us who seek a
little support but cannot find
it
in a world of selfishness and confusion."
-DR. FREDERIC W ERTHAM

FINISTERE
OWEN DODSON
The first novel by this major Negro writer,
best known for his poetry and plays, is a poignant revelation of a
small boy's search for meaning in an adult world. Filled with the
minutiae of childhood, with the sights and sounds and smells of a
poor New York neighborhood, it is written in a glowing prose that is
often close to the rhythms of poetry.
