196821237171968. London: Anthony Blond. 1968. 8vo. Original black cloth spine lettered in gilt in the dust-jacket priced 35s. net to the front flap lettered in white and yellow; pp. 205 3; very slight spotting to upper and fore-edges jacket rubbed and nicked to spine tips and edges; a near-fine copy in a very good jacket; title-page signed by the author in black.An uncommon signed first UK edition first printing of Vidal's landmark novel is-sued with authorised excisions from the American text and carrying the author's sardonic note regarding his adaptation to the 'high moral climate that envelops the British Isles'.One of the most provocative and widely discussed novels of the 1960s and the author's own favourite among his works Myra Breckinridge is a flamboyant assault on the sexual and social orthodoxies of post-war America. Presented in the form of the diary of its transgender heroine - formerly Myron Breckinridge - the novel follows Myra's arrival in Hollywood where her project of social and sexual transformation unfolds amid the glamour artifice and kitsch of the film industry. Comic irreverent and subversive the novel antici-pated debates about gender and identity that would only later enter the cultural mainstream. Although the work was published uncut by Little Brown in the United States Vidal's London publisher Heinemann declined to issue it 'fearing that an association with the book would affect Heinemann's reputation in a way that would damage sales' Kaplan. Anthony Blond 'a smaller but less timid publisher' ibid. subsequently acquired the book on condition that Vidal 'would respond satisfactorily to pages of objections raised by its own lawyers some of which had to do with obscenity some with libel'. Vidal made the requisite alterations and cuts adding a characteristically tart note to the British edition: 'Wanting in every way to adapt to the high moral climate that envelops the British Isles the author has allowed certain excisions to be made in the American text.'The novel is dedicated to Christopher Isherwood who had dedicated A Single Man to Vidal four years earlier.Joshi 25.b.; Stanton p.11.

1992126011Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press 1992. First edition of this work by the award-winning novelist. Octavo original cloth. Association copy inscribed by the author on the title page "Valerie love Gore Vidal." The recipient Valerie Vidal was the author’s sister. Vidal’s father remarried in 1939 and had two children with his second wife; Valerie was born in 1946. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Lisa Clark. An exceptional association. Gore Vidal saw his first talking picture in 1929 when he was four years old. At age ten the film A Midsummer Night's Dream whetted his appetite for all of Shakespeare's plays and Mickey Rooney's Puck inspired his early fantasy about becoming an actor. Yet it was movies about history albeit history as brought to life on the silver screen that he remembers most vividly from his youth. Movies such as Roman Scandals The Prince and the Pauper and Fire Over England in his words "opened for me that door to the past where I have spent so much of my life-long present." Author of Burr Lincoln and other best-selling novels chronicling our experience Vidal shows how history and fiction blend in the private and public worlds of his generation. In Screening History he intertwines fond recollections of films savored in the movie palaces of his Washington D.C. boyhood with strands of autobiography and trenchant observations about American politics. Never before has Vidal--a scion of one of our oldest political families--revealed so much about his own life or written with such marvelous immediacy about the real and imagined forces that have shaped America in the twentieth century. We see Vidal witnessing history as his grandfather is sworn in for a fourth Senate term during the Depression; we see him making history as a young airman of ten flying a Hammond Y-1 under the watchful eye of his father FDR's Director of Aviation; and we journey back with him to America in the 1930s and 1940s to theaters with names like the Belasco and the Metropolitan where the history screened for the nation's moviegoers often turned reality into fantasy or into downright propaganda. Screening History is rich with anecdotes about Vidal's eminent family and shrewd insights about prominent figures known and observed. It captures the hold that movies have had on the American imagination and the mark they left on the mind of a youngster who grew up to become one of our best-known and most controversial literary figures. At times poignant often bitingly funny this is Gore Vidal at his best inscribing his views on the American political scene from FDR to George Bush and on issues from the writing of history to the inability of movies to set history straight.
