195451542New York: E.P. Dutton 1954. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. When a mortician appears on television to declare that death is infinitely preferable to life he sparks a religious movement that quickly leaves Christianity and most of Islam in the dust. Vidal's deft and daring blend of satire and prophecy eerily anticipates the excesses of Jim Jones David Koresh and the Heaven's Gate suicide cult. Bookplate to the front pastedown. Some mild fading along the extremities of the boards with a small nick to the spine head. The dust jacket is moderately shelfworn with a closed tear to the rear panel and a bit of occasional shallow chipping; otherwise very good. <br/><br/> E.P. Dutton hardcover books
