Doubleday, Doran And Company, Garden City, New York, 1929. Hardcover. Written by T. S. Stribling. Stated First Edition.
'Regarded as a whole, Strange Moon gives the impression of having been written as a tour de force, an entertainment, the brilliant literary escapade of an ingenious mind. Mr. Stribling condescends to his theme, he is not mastered by it; so that in spite of the impressiveness of its separate qualities it lacks unity and compelling force. Its charm depends upon artifice and upon the quality of the author's mind; but it is an enjoyable book.' --Saturday Review, 1929.
T. S. Stribling traveled a great deal. In Venezuela, he was inspired to write three novels, including Strange Moon. The novel is set there, and in part he seeks to explore the different social and ethnic classes within the country. Of course, a bit of adventure and romance make their way into the story as well.
