Epitaph of a Small Winner

English is a dual-title minefield: William L. Grossman's translation FIRST appeared in an obscure self-financed Sao Paulo printing of 1951 titled 'The Posthumous Memoirs of Braz Cubas,' which barely circulated; the widely collected first is the first US trade edition, 'Epitaph of a Small Winner,' Noonday Press, New York, 1952 (published 14 July 1952), translated by Grossman with illustrations by Shari Frisch and stating 'first American edition.' A UK edition (W. H. Allen, London, 1953) used the SAME title, 'Epitaph of a Small Winner.'
