<p>Fine in red binding with gilt spine titles; in a very nearly fine illustrated dust jacket with some very light rubbing a very short closed edge tear to upper rear panel and a short superficial vertical crease also to rear panel. Satirical novel about playwright and screenwriter Giles Darymple and his leading lady and nemesis Nerissa. The rather florid and nearly incomprehensible jacket blurb offers this: "Rarely has sabre-toothed repartee been bandied across bars bedrooms and filmsets with such fidelity and unihibited Rabelaisian gusto--giving us a dissection in print of the wayward entities that swarm multiply and perish beneath the swelter of the arc-lamps. Nole Langley was never one to pay lip service to the blushes of the prurient and in this fearsome story of Giles and his Nerissa he indicts not a profession that he clearly loves but the parasites that suck it bloodless." Langley was himself a playwright and notably a screenwriter so it is perhaps a fair assumption that the novel weaves autobiographical elements into the "wild crescendo" of his tale. Langley was one of the scenarists for THE WIZARD OF OZ. Though he described himself as sickened by the changes made by Florence Ryerson Edgar Alan Woolf and others to his original treatment "I saw it in a cinema on Hollywood Boulevard at noon and I sat and cried like a bloody child" he later revised his opinion of the finished film. It was Langley who introduced the bookend concept of the Tin Man the Scarecrow and the Lion appearing as farmworkers in the sepia sequences in Kansas; and it was Langley who changed the color of Dorothy's iconic shoes from silver to ruby red. Terrific jacket art by an uncredited artist.</p> Arthur Barker, Limited hardcover
