HALL, Leland. Salah and His American. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. 1935.

First Edition. The front flap blurb states that this novel is about "a young negro boy, out of work and stranded, who fastens himself like a faithful dog on an American visiting in Morocco. The man finally engages him as a house-boy, and Salah, with the soul of a slave ready to idolize a kind master, roots himself unbudgingly. He cannot understand that he is a servant for a month, not a lifetime...Salah, with centuries of black Africa in his blood, is finally left behind- equipped to drive a car." Interesting pre-'Sheltering Sky' novel of Africa and her people. Near Fine in Very Good plus dustjacket.

Price: $85.00
