‎Vidal, Gore‎

‎Screening History.‎

‎Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press 1992. First edition of this work by the award-winning novelist. Octavo original cloth. Association copy inscribed by the author on the title page "Valerie love Gore Vidal." The recipient Valerie Vidal was the author’s sister. Vidal’s father remarried in 1939 and had two children with his second wife; Valerie was born in 1946. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Lisa Clark. An exceptional association. Gore Vidal saw his first talking picture in 1929 when he was four years old. At age ten the film A Midsummer Night's Dream whetted his appetite for all of Shakespeare's plays and Mickey Rooney's Puck inspired his early fantasy about becoming an actor. Yet it was movies about history albeit history as brought to life on the silver screen that he remembers most vividly from his youth. Movies such as Roman Scandals The Prince and the Pauper and Fire Over England in his words "opened for me that door to the past where I have spent so much of my life-long present." Author of Burr Lincoln and other best-selling novels chronicling our experience Vidal shows how history and fiction blend in the private and public worlds of his generation. In Screening History he intertwines fond recollections of films savored in the movie palaces of his Washington D.C. boyhood with strands of autobiography and trenchant observations about American politics. Never before has Vidal--a scion of one of our oldest political families--revealed so much about his own life or written with such marvelous immediacy about the real and imagined forces that have shaped America in the twentieth century. We see Vidal witnessing history as his grandfather is sworn in for a fourth Senate term during the Depression; we see him making history as a young airman of ten flying a Hammond Y-1 under the watchful eye of his father FDR's Director of Aviation; and we journey back with him to America in the 1930s and 1940s to theaters with names like the Belasco and the Metropolitan where the history screened for the nation's moviegoers often turned reality into fantasy or into downright propaganda. Screening History is rich with anecdotes about Vidal's eminent family and shrewd insights about prominent figures known and observed. It captures the hold that movies have had on the American imagination and the mark they left on the mind of a youngster who grew up to become one of our best-known and most controversial literary figures. At times poignant often bitingly funny this is Gore Vidal at his best inscribing his views on the American political scene from FDR to George Bush and on issues from the writing of history to the inability of movies to set history straight.

‎SCREENING HISTORY‎

‎Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press 1992. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press 1992. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 96 pages. Collection of essays on subject. One of the best books on film ever written in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions particularly the British Edition which looks exactly like it. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by a University Press. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Gore Vidal's "Screening History". Essays that discuss the influence of the movies on American history and vice versa with unexpected Vidalian results. This is film criticism-as-autobiography autobiography-as-film criticism in the unique seamless way that only Gore Vidal and no other regular film critic could possibly pull off. "Uses the movies of his youth as the key to an examination of his past. Young Gore's first confrontation with the reality of death occurred in his viewing of a poignant scene from 'The Prince and the Pauper' 1937 . He is aware that films and other images from the media can be used to manipulate or define an event for its audience and he realizes that the image often becomes the reality of that event" Library Journal . Characterized by wit insight and penetrating brilliance this is a nostalgic valentine to the movies from America's greatest man-of-letters who was once a Hollywood screenwriter himself "Ben-Hur" being the most celebrated "Caligula" being the most controversial very publicly disowned by him. Vidal's unsurpassed genius as an aphorist makes him our Montaigne the greatest essayist America has ever produced. It also leads us to take his effortless one-liners at face value when the whole point of the aphorism is to read between the lines. "A narcissist is anyone better-looking than you" Gore Vidal . Gore Vidal died on July 31 2012 at the age of 86 the last of the great American public intellectual/writers of our time. We live in the Age of Mediocrity where nearly everyone is a critic/blogger/pundit mouthing timid politically correct opinions. Pundits are retail thinkers that is they are not real thinkers. Someday we will realize what we have irretrievably lost. An absolute "must-have" title for Gore Vidal collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Gore Vidal. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws are subsequent printings or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Recipient of the National Book Award's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 for "Distinguished Contribution To American Letters". One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy.
