The Interne
New York: The Macaulay Company, 1932.
First edition, first printing. 252, [4, ads] pp. Bound in publisher's original red cloth stamped in blue. About Very Good with slightly soiled cloth, edges a bit foxed, former owner's name stamped on front free endpaper. Lacking dust jacket. A novel of a young doctor interning at a hospital rife with corruption. Thurman is most often associated with the Harlem Renaissance, though in this book there are no racially identified characters. His co-author Abraham L. Furman would go on to write many books over the years, mostly aimed at a juvenile audience. This, however, would be Thurman's final novel, published two years before he died of tuberculosis in the charity ward of a New York City hospital.
