Warren MIller – The Cool World – First UK Edition 1959
£95.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Cool World’ published in 1959. A very good book in like wrapper which is unclipped with a little wear to the spine tips and corners.
A novel that explores the harsh realities of life in Harlem through the eyes of a Black teenager named Duke. Caught between poverty, gang life, and dreams of power, Duke seeks identity and control in a turbulent world. The novel offers a raw, unflinching look at urban youth, systemic racism, and disillusionment. Gritty and poignant, Miller’s work is a powerful commentary on social injustice and lost innocence.
