Powell, Dawn, and Vidal, Gore (Introduction by)
Angels on Toast
South Royalton, VT Steerforth Press 1996 188364240X / 9781883642402 First edition thus Trade Paperback Very Good
245 pp.; 21 cm. First published, 1940. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light edgewear to wraps. Stated "First Printing." "Angels on Toast is on the make: Lou Donovan, the entrepeneur who ricochets frantically between his well-connected current wife, his disreputable ex, and his dangerously greedy mistress; Trina Kameray, the exotic adventuress whose job title is as phony as her accent; T.V. Truesdale, the man with the aristocratic manner, the fourteen-dollar suit, and the hyperactive eye for the main chance. A dizzyingly fast-paced and deliriously entertaining novel. / DAWN POWELL lived from 1897 to 1965 and was the author of fifteen novels, numerous short stories, and half-a-dozen plays." - Publisher. "For decades Dawn Powell was always just on the verge of ceasing to be a cult and becoming a major religion." -- Gore Vidal

Vidal, Gore
Imperial America: Reflections on the United States of Amnesia
New York Nation Books 2005 156025744X / 9781560257448 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Very Good
181 pp., index; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. Browning. "Following the publication of Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace and Dreaming War comes award-winning Gore Vidal's long-awaited conclusion to his landmark, best-selling trilogy. Now, Vidal has written his most devastating exploration of Imperial America to date. 'Not since the 1846 attack on Mexico in order to seize California,' Vidal writes, 'has an American government been so nakedly predatory.' Bush's apparent invincibility, and what he might or might not know--especially about those new 'black box' voting machines being installed all over the country--is one of the central themes of 'State of the Union 2004,' a magnificent and witty Olympian survey of American Empire, where the war on terror is judged as nonsensical as the 'war on dandruff,' where America is an 'Enron-Pentagon prison,' a land of ballooning budget deficits thanks to the growth of a garrison state, tax cuts for the privileged, and the creeping totalitarianism of the Ashcroft justice department. Collected in this volume are Vidal's earlier State of the Union addresses, a tradition inaugurated on the David Susskind show in the early seventies as a counterpoint to 'whoever happened to be president.'" - Publisher.

Point to Point Navigation: A Memoir, 1964 to 2006
New York Doubleday 2006 0385517211 / 9780385517218 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
277 pp., illus., index; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "In POINT TO POINT NAVIGATION, the celebrated novelist, essayist, critic, and controversialist Gore Vidal ranges freely over his remarkable life with the signature wit and literary elegance that is uniquely his. The title refers to a form of navigation he resorted to as a first mate in the navy during World War II. As he says, 'As I was writing this account of my life and times since Palimpsest, I felt as if I were again dealing with those capes and rocks in the Bering Sea that we had to navigate so often with a compass made inoperable by weather.' It is a beautifully apt analogy for the hazards eluded (mostly) during his eventful life, and for the way this memoir proceeds - far from linear, but always on course. From his desks in Ravello and the Hollywood Hills, Gore Vidal travels in memory through the arenas of literature, television, film, theater, politics, and international society, where he has cut a broad swath, recounting achievements and defeats, friends and enemies made (and on a number of occasions lost). Among the gathering of notables to be found in these pages, sketched with a draftsman's ease and evoked with the panache of one of our great raconteurs, are Jack and Jacqueline Kennedy, Tennessee Williams ('the Glorious Bird'), Eleanor Roosevelt, Orson Welles, Johnny Carson, Greta Garbo, Federico Fellini, Rudolph Nureyev, Elia Kazan, and Francis Ford Coppola. Some of the book's most moving pages are devoted to the illness and death of his partner of five decades, Howard Austen, and indeed the book is, among other things, a meditation on mortality written in the spirit of Montaigne. Elegiac yet vital and even ornery,POINT TO POINT NAVIGATION is a summing-up of Gore Vidal's time on the planet that manages to be at once supremely entertaining, endlessly provocative, and thoroughly moving. / GORE VIDAL is the author of twenty-two novels, five plays, many screenplays, more than two hundred essays, and the critically lauded, Palimpsest: A Memoir. Vidal's United States (Essays 1952-1992) won the 1993 National Book Award. Gore Vidal lives in Beverly Hills, California." - Publisher.
