194447333New York: Reynal and Hitchcock 1944. First Edition. First Printing. Octavo 21.25cm; yellow cloth with titles stamped in black and red on spine and front cover; dustjacket; x1793pp. Signed by Miller in blue ball-point pen on the title page. Spine ends gently nudged some trivial wear to lower board edges with a hint of sunning to upper board edges and a faint shallow stain to lower edge of rear cover; Near Fine. Dustjacket is unclipped priced $2.00 with two tiny tears at crown and a faint vertical crease along left joint; a bright very Near Fine example. Laid into this copy is an untitled seven-page carbon typescript on onionskin 8" x 10.5" written by Miller in 1943 relating details about the book's conception; horizontal fold at center staple holes at upper left corner with two neat punctures along left margin; Very Good. Attractive copy of the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright's first book based on his experiences researching the war correspondence of journalist Ernie Pyle. The title derives from the widely-used military acronym slang "SNAFU" Situation Normal: All Fucked Up which translates to a bad situation that is a normal state of affairs. Miller was tasked by Hollywood to gather material for "an honest movie" about American GI's during the war about their training daily life their hopes dreams and why they are fighting. Miller visited several Army camps training living and interviewing soldiers and taking down the unvarnished truth of his discoveries. "I was the person fate picked out of Brooklyn to go among the soldiers and pick up enough facts honest-to-God true facts to make a soldier picture which soldiers could sit through until the end without once laughing in derision. A picture that would properly end all soldier pictures" p.1. The film in question was William A. Wellman's The Story of G.I. Joe to be adapted by Miller for Lester Cowan from Pyle's 1943 book This Is Your War. Miller version was ultimatley not produced likely due to ideological differences and his communist sympathies. The typescript written the year before Situation Normal was published summarizes the conception of the book detailing his early meetings with Ernie Pyle over how his work would be translated into film and what they wanted to accomplish. "I bring up the idea that it would be a shame to show this massive canvas without reducing what is chaos to at least an inkling of purpose and order and of course he agrees. But we both feel that to lard on ideology where there is no ideology would be to wrap the truth. You can't have soldiers talking about four freedoms when all they want is to go home. Myself I curse the press and the million textbooks that turn out the billions of words and never add up to an excuse for dying" typescript p.5. A superlative copy of an important debut.

11339Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Oblong 1957 photograph of the renowned American architect and the renowned American poet both ex-Chicagoans and old friends boldly signed by each in the lower blank margin. Original photograph by Art Siegel 7 1/2 x 9". On verso notations record the place each autograph was obtained: Sandburg's in Flat Rock North Carolina and Wright's in Scottsdale Arizona January 1958. A few areas of surface loss to the image which have been in-painted with dye and an area of evident creasing or tearing repaired by a clumsily affixed small adhesive light paper skinning on the lower edge none of these faults affecting either of the signatures. Simply matted and framed under plexiglass. Signed photographs of Wright are very rare.<br><br><br />The image depicts these two great American originals as they met to appear together in 1957 on television's Omnibus hosted by Alistair Cooke. They were old friends by this point having met as young men in Oak Park Illinois and had been close for nearly half a century. Around this time they also participated together in a lively discussion eventually published in Long Island's 'Newsday' under the headline "Meeting of the Titans." That encounter concluded when the interviewer Alicia Patterson asked "What do you think of each other" Wright spoke first: "I wouldn't have any one of my friends improved.I like Carl as he is." Sandburg answered: "I think I will write a Frankl Lloyd Wright poem and it will have music and it will have dimensions in it." When Wright asked: "Third dimensions" Sandburg replied: "I will even suggest a fourth one." unknown books
193939022Tromøy Norway 1939. Octavo 20.5cm.; contemporary blue cloth upper cover lettered in gilt decorative endpapers; 1454pp. typed on rectos only. Cloth very slightly worn spine a hint sunned shallow loss to front free endpaper fore-edge shallow creasing to three leaves else Very Good or better. Occasional autograph corrections in the author's hand throughout. German-born author poet editor and translator Max Barth began his career as an editor of the pacifist socialist paper Sonntags-Zeitung before founding his own radical socialist paper Die Richtung in 1932 at Stuttgart. The paper only survived a few issues before being confiscated by the Nazi-infiltrated Stuttgart populace the following year after which Barth fled to Switzerland. Found guilty of "High Treason" by the Third Reich Barth found himself exiled making his way to Norway from which this collection was compiled and finally the United States where he remained until after the end of World War II. <br/><br/>The present collection consists of seventy poems written between 1919 and 1939 including some previously unpublished selected for the author's sister and preceded by a letter of introduction addressed to her "Li Fri" and signed in manuscript "Max." In the letter Barth explains that the collection was compiled entirely with her in mind and includes certain pieces dear to him despite their lesser literary quality. In a final postscript the author notes that in the poem "Abseits" he has rhymed the word "Fjord" with "Spur" because the word "Fjord" in Norwegian is pronounced "Fjur." The letter is dated September 1 1939 the day the Germans invaded Poland leading France and Britain to declare war on Germany two days later thus marking the start of World War II. The author was certainly unaware of such developments as no mention is made to the catastrophic events simultaneously unfolding.<br/><br/>Reference: John M. Spalek and Joseph Strelka eds.
