The Cotillion or One Good Bull is Half the Herd. [Inscribed and Signed]

Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel inscribed by the author

---

Novel of an upwardly mobile Black woman who wants her daughter to move up into New York’s café society. Inscribed by the author: “For the Spector’s and Liberation—John O. Killens 3–14–71.” Killens wrote six novels for adults; The Cotillion was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1971, but no award was given that year. (ANB)

Ephemera laid into the book includes an invitation to a NAACP-sponsored book signing for this novel (with a blurb by Maya Angelou); the 4-page program for that event.
