‎God of Caesar The Writing of Fiction For Beginners - By Vardis Fisher‎

‎Caldwell Idaho: Caxton 1953. First Edition First Prining. Signed and inscribed by Vardis Fisher to jazz musician Artie Shaw - For Artie Shaw - With cordial good wishes from one who thinks all authors are crazy! That you may as well join us. Vardia Fisher Hagerman Idaho July 10 1953. With Artie Shaw’s bookplate. On the rear endpaper Shaw has written in pencil a fair amount of notes and references to passages in the book. Very good in a chipped and used dust jacket. Arthur Jacob Arshawsky 1910 - 2004 better known as Artie Shaw started out his career in music at thirteen as a saxophone player and switched to the clarinet at sixteen. He gained experience and skill while on the road at a young age which lead to steady work in the 30s as a session musician and performing with various bands and orchestras and on radio. His first critical acclaim came with his performance of “Interlude in B-flat" at a swing concert at the Imperial Theater in New York in 1935. And during the swing era Shaw's big band enjoyed such enduring hits like Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" and Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" "Back Bay Shuffle†"Moonglow†"Rosalie" "Frenesi" and "Summit Ridge Drive." He was known for his innovation both in his musical arrangements and for becoming the first white bandleader to hire a full-time black female singer Billie Holiday in 1938 to tour the then segregated southern United States. Throughout his career he worked with many of the great jazz musicians and vocalists of his day including Helen Forrest Mel Torme drummers Buddy Rich and Dave Tough guitarists Barney Kessel Jimmy Raney and Tal Farlow and trombonist-arranger Ray Conniff. A charismatic and complicated man Shaw was married eight times most notably to actresses Lana Turner Ava Gardner Doris Dowling and Evelyn Keyes Betty Kern the daughter of songwriter Jerome Kern and ‘Forever Amber’ author Kathleen Winsor. In 2004 he was presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition to his musical career and accomplishments he is the author of an autobiography ‘The Trouble With Cinderella: An Outline of Identity’ three short novels; ‘I Love You I Hate You Drop Dead!’ a collection of short stories ‘The Best of Intentions and Other Stories’ and an autobiographical novel titled ‘The Education of Albie Snow’ which sadly never made it to publication.

Tipped to the front endsheet is a one page t.l.s. from Fisher to a reader dated 1933 elaborating on the practice of "turpentining a horse or other animal such as a stray dog.It was not within my experience a cure for balking; but was done as you suggest ironically in 'good clean fun.' In both spirit and motive it is of course akin to lynching or Jew- baiting or any other of the more polite and civilized forms of death in the afternoon.it ordinarily resulted in death." The letter as well describes the specific method of said practice. The Caxton Printers hardcover books‎
