FISHER, M. F. K.

Not Now but Now.

San Francisco: North Point Press, 1982 — the North Point edition (first published by Viking, 1947), with Fisher's afterword.

8vo. 256 pp. Original color-printed wrappers in the color-printed dust jacket. A fine copy. Paperback.

Inscribed by the author on the half-title, "All best — M.F.K. Fisher," dated 1987.

M.F.K. Fisher's only novel — the story of Jennie, a willful wandering woman who moves through four eras and settings (San Francisco, Chicago, Lausanne, Paris), the structure explained in Fisher's 1982 afterword.

Signed Fisher copies are sought by collectors of California food and literary writing. Fisher (1908–1992), author of How to Cook a Wolf, Consider the Oyster, and The Gastronomical Me, is one of the central figures in twentieth-century American food writing.
