194616668JNew York: Dutton 1946. First Edition First Printing of the Author’s First Book. With a remarkable extensive signed inscription by Gore Vidal to Dr. William Shelton Gray Jr. written over two pages providing details on the development and history of the novel: “For Bill Gray - Twenty years later; this first and onlyedition was 5000 copies - In time all sold - There has never been a hard-cover reprint - The book was written 1944-45 - Begun aboard F.S. 35 at Chesapeake Bay just before New Year's '44. Finished at East Hampton Shortly after Hiroshima – Gore Vidal Jan 2 - 1967 NYCâ€. Vidal’s inscriptions in books are notoriously short even to close friends and this book has the longest Vidal inscription we have encountered anywhere. William Gray was the Chairman of the English Department at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland Virginia who edited Tennessee Williams’ only book of poetry In the Winter of Cities and one of W.H. Auden’s last poems “The Aliens†was dedicated to him. Gray met and befriended Vidal through Williams. Hardcover dust jacket octavo 222 pages. The volume is in very good used condition with some rubbing to the cloth edges in a very good dust jacket with some rubbing some aging and light chipping. Williwaw is the term widely thought to be Native American in origin for a sudden violent Katabatic wind common to the Aleutian Islands. The story combines war drama maritime adventure and a murder plot. The book is a World War II novel set on a U.S. ship in the Arctic waters around the Aleutians in the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the local storm season during World War II. The nervousness and tension of the crew and a handful of passengers at the approach of the Williwaw is stretched to breaking point when the Chief Engineer Duval falls overboard in suspicious circumstances.

Gore Vidal 1925-2012 wrote a new introduction for this fiftieth anniversary edition of his first novel composed during World War II when he was a nineteen-year-old first mate on an Army supply ship in the Aleutians. <br /> <br /> The battles are far removed but nature becomes the enemy in the form of a storm at sea and the psychological subject is the tedium of waiting for the war to end.<br /> <br /> Reproduced are plans for the type of freight-supply ship Vidal was assigned to and that he used as the setting for the novel. The drawings were found by Hoyem with assistance from the San Francisco Maritime Museum and the Whatcom Museum in Bellingham Washington. They show the outboard profile deck plans for the navigation bridge and main- and below-deck arrangements. <br /> <br /> Stephanie Dal Porto who answered the Press's telephone was terribly worried that Gore Vidal would call from Italy and that she would impulsively imitate the voice of the comedienne Lily Tomlin playing a receptionist by responding: "Yes Mr. Veedle!" When he did call Hoyem answered and the author said that he had not replied to emails because his Internet connection and computer had been zapped by lightening. <br /> <br /> __POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. <br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
