196124709New York: William Sloane Associates. Very Good in Good dj. 1961. First Edition. Hardcover. solid copy light shelfwear a touch of fraying to cloth at top of spine light bumping to bottom rear corner minor soiling to bottom of text block; jacket heavily edgeworn various tiny tears/nicks/creasing along top edge especially to the rear panel. Novel about an "ex-prodigy World War II veteran and theatrical producer who is accustomed to triumphs practically everywhere" but is possessed with "a sardonic humor an urgent question -- Is modern life worth the living -- and the ability to see both himself and others in a pure white light." The author a then-closeted gay man who wouldn't come out for another decade via a 1971 article in The New York Times Magazine wrote numerous works of both fiction and non-fiction; the year after this book appeared he was contracted to do a series of interviews for a proposed documentary TV series about former President Harry Truman; although the show was never produced the interviews were ultimately incorporated into what is probably Miller's best-known book "Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S. Truman." Roger Austen in "Playing the Game" describes the novel as semi-autobiographical and as containing "a minor gay motif" but also scores it as being "more melancholy than gay." It's worth remembering that "gay" in the early 1960s wasn't yet a widely-used appellation for a homosexual -- but at the same time it's doubtful that its deployment in the book's title was accidental. .
