Gore Vidal 1925-2012 wrote a new introduction for this fiftieth anniversary edition of his first novel composed during World War II when he was a nineteen-year-old first mate on an Army supply ship in the Aleutians. The battles are far removed but nature becomes the enemy in the form of a storm at sea and the psychological subject is the tedium of waiting for the war to end. Reproduced are plans for the type of freight-supply ship Vidal was assigned to and that he used as the setting for the novel. The drawings were found by Hoyem with assistance from the San Francisco Maritime Museum and the Whatcom Museum in Bellingham Washington. They show the outboard profile deck plans for the navigation bridge and main- and below-deck arrangements. Stephanie Dal Porto who answered the Press's telephone was terribly worried that Gore Vidal would call from Italy and that she would impulsively imitate the voice of the comedienne Lily Tomlin playing a receptionist by responding: "Yes Mr. Veedle!" When he did call Hoyem answered and the author said that he had not replied to emails because his Internet connection and computer had been zapped by lightening. __POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

1953Best.-Nr. 28299London: Red Seal Books / L. Miller & Son Limited. Very Good. c.1953. First British Edition. Softcover. modest edgewear to covers very slight spine roll short diagonal crease at bottom right corner of front cover. Red Seal Book no. 58 Series Mass Market PB The British edition of Vidal's only novel published under his "Cameron Kay" nom de plume what his editor at Gold Medal Books called a "cardboard alias". Although claimed on the cover to be "An Original Red Seal Novel" it's not having already or perhaps concurrently been issued in the U.S. as a Gold Medal paperback no. 311. Not even the cover art is original as this printing uses the same illustration as the American edition by the great Barye Phillips. While Vidal himself makes no reference to the book in his memoir "Palimpsest" his biographer Fred Kaplan gives it a little more respect commenting on its "many effectiveVidalian touches the setting drawn from his Egyptian experiences in 1948 a combination of hard-boiled suspense a strong love story and a political/social drama that pits the individual against a corrupt society." More uncommon it seems than the Gold Medal edition. . Red Seal Books / L. Miller & Son Limited paperback books
