New York: Dutton, 1946. Second printing. Green cloth lettered in orange. pp 223. VG+ jacketless copy. Not a lot is known about Nablo. He was born in Niagara Falls in 1910 and died young in 1955. This was his only book. He went to Hollywood and wrote for B movies. "The Long November is a rough book, told in a style that resembles tough guy film noir narration; only Nablo uses words that would not pass the Hays Code. In a 1949 letter to Jack McClelland, Earle Birney provides a list: 'Jesus Christ, Christ Almighty, By Jesus, for Christ's sake, goddamit, Bugger all, sonofabitch, suck-holing, stumblebum, crap, shacked up, quickie, a lay, shove it up your keister, tired of being screwed-without-being-kissed.'
