Letting Go

US Random House, New York, 1962 is the true first and the edition collected — the census claim is correct. Roth's first full-length novel, following the Goodbye, Columbus collection. The first British edition is André Deutsch, London, 1962; it follows the US issue and is collected only as the UK first, not as a co-first. Note the 'first thus' trap of the Library of America Novels and Stories 1959-1962 volume, which reprints Letting Go and is sometimes offered as a first.
