This scarce 1950 edition of A Golden Girl is a novel by Harry Sylvester, an American writer known for his association with the postwar literary scene and his contributions to mid-20th-century American fiction. Published at mid-century, the novel reflects the period’s interest in identity, morality, and personal ambition, themes that place it squarely within the tradition of postwar American literature.
Sylvester’s work has become increasingly difficult to find, making A Golden Girl appealing to collectors of 1950’s American novels, mid-century fiction, and overlooked literary voices of the era.
This copy is offered in Very Good+ condition, with a clean interior, firm binding, some chipping on spine and no writing or ownership markings noted. A solid example for private libraries focused on postwar American fiction.
