‎A Thirsty Evil : Seven Short Stories‎

‎New York: The Zero Press 1956. Fine in a Fine dustjacket. Blue cloth quarterbound in beige cloth. The spine is stamped in blue. Octavo. 154pps. Stated First Edition. An excellent collector's-quality copy: clean tight square and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; absolutely no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket glossy in a mylar sleeve is also as new; no chips soiling or tears. The original price is intact. An unusually splendid copy. ".Gore Vidal again demonstrates in these seven stories that maturity of craftsmanship and individuality which has gained him an important place among writers. He has wit; he has variety; he has a style. Of the hundreds of new writers to come out of the Second World War only a handful have continued to develop to grow. He has survived notoriety and early success to achieve a career of letters that is unique a body of work that is substantial a perception of reality which is precise and illuminating. After reading 'A Moment of Green Laurel' published here for the first time one appreciates the comment of The Times Literary Supplement: 'It is quite possible for a successful young novelist like Mr. Gore Vidal to live in America and prevent anything he does not want from impinging on his consciousness and as he matures a correlation between his standards and those he does not follow. From the fusion a peculiarly American literature developes.'." Purchase with confidence: all books gradings and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile.
