About This Item
1st English edition of Jean Cocteau s semi- autobiographical novel Le Livre Blanc , originally published anonymously in 1928. The preface and accompanying pen and ink illustrations to this edition give away Cocteau s authorship. An elliptical memoir of both a homoerotic and religious character, where he confesses both the awakening of his sexuality and the Catholic faith he would return to in his later years. The glaring typo to front wrap distinguishes this scarce 1st Olympia edition, bound in the signature green wrappers. Shows crease to front wrap and light toning to pages.
