The Well of Loneliness
When McGee left the company in connection to health issues in 1924, Covici continued to publish under Pascal Covici, Inc. Several years later, he began a firm with Donald Friede in New York City. The play "The Front Page" by Hecht and Charles MacArthur and the novel "The Well of Loneliness" by Radclyffe Hall garnered the company quick success. "The Well of Loneliness" was seized from Covici-Friede's offices after Friede sold a copy to John Saxton Sumner of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice but the New York Court of Special Sessions cleared the book of charges of obscenity.
