Description: This is a clean copy of "BARBARY SHORE" by Norman Mailer (author of "The Naked and the Dead") with its original dust jacket. 1951; Rinehart & Company; New York. The dust jacket is un-clipped with the original $3.00 price intact on the front flap. From the dust jacket: "Only the author of The Naked and the Dead could have written this remarkable novel about our post-war world. There are only six principal characters in Barbary Shore - two women, three men, and a child. Yet out of their extraordinary relationships - to each other, to the world around them - Norman Mailer has extracted the dilemma of our times. A novel of action, it is also a novel of ideas, and the interplay evokes a gamut of comedy, of horror, of excitement, of tragedy whose bearing on our world is inescapable. To some, Barbary Shore will read like a fascinating mystery story, filled with the echoes, the whispers, the ghosts of a world on the brink of disaster. to others - in the vividness of its characters and their struggles - it will be frighteningly real. As The Naked and the Dead was the most important novel of World War II, so, we believe, Barbary Shore will be on of the most memorable of its aftermath." Condition: Clean covers and spine; sharp corners; some light chipping at the top and bottom edges of the spine. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Clean interior with no issues found - the inside of the book nearly appears unread. The dust jacket is un-clipped with the $3.00 price intact on the front flap; there are tears at the edges of the spine that have been repaired on the back-side with clear tape.

Description: 8vo, black cloth with white lettering on spine, Mylar-protected lettered dust jacket (unclipped) with a black background designed by SKA Associates, [vi] +312 pages. BARBARY SHORE was Norman Mailer's second published novel, written after Mailer's great success with his 1948 debut The Naked and the Dead. It concerns a protagonist who rents a room in a Brooklyn boarding house with the intention of writing a novel. Wounded during World War II, he is an amnesiac, and much of his past is a secret to himself. Norman Mailer (1923 - 2007) was an American novelist, journalist, essayist, playwright, film-maker, actor, and political activist. His novel The Naked and the Dead was published in 1948 and brought him renown. His best-known work is often considered to be The Executioner's Song (1979) winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Mailer's Armies of the Night won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction and the National Book Award. Along with Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, Mailer is considered an innovator of creative nonfiction, a genre sometimes called New Journalism, which uses devices of literary fiction in fact-based journalism. Mailer was also respected for his essays, the most famous of which is "The White Negro." He was a cultural commentator and critic, expressing his often pugnatious and controversial views through his novels, journalism, essays, and frequent media appearances. SUPERIOR CONDITION internally: clean, tight, with slight typical toning to post-war paper. Small bookplate of previous owner on free front endpaper. Small chip loss to lower dj spine edge.

Description: Hardcover. 8vo. Rinehart & Co. Inc, New York. 1951. 312 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (DJ is chipped and worn with a small piece missing from the rear panel of the DJ). Bound in cloth with titles present to the spine. Boards rubbed and worn with some tape residue present to the boards. Previous owner's name stamped to the FFEP with some sticker residue present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid. Published at the height of the McCarthy era, Norman Mailers audacious novel of socialism is at once an elegy and an indictment, a sinuous moral thriller and an intellectual slugfest. Wounded during World War II, Mike Lovett is an amnesiac, and much of his past is a secret to himself. But when Lovett rents a room in Brooklyn, he finds that his housemates have secrets of their own: One betrays a husband no one ever sees; another may have been a Communist executioner. Combining Kafkaesque unease with Orwellian paranoia, Barbary Shore plays havoc with our certainties and delivers its effects with a force that is pure Mailer. E-168; 8vo 8" - 9" tall

Description: First edition. 8vo, publishers original black cloth lettered in white on the spine, in scarce red, white and black dustjacket. 312 pp. A very fine copy with only very minimal evidence of age. The jacket in very pleasing condition with only light mellowing to the spine panel. A FINE COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION. Mailers second novel, dealing with the post-war era. "BARBARY SHORE is a courageous novel. Its theme is controversial and disturbing. It is written with uncompromising honesty and passionate conviction. It is our belief, as publishers, that it will be met by violent denunciation and enthusiastic approval. " As the NAKED AND THE DEAD was the most important novel of World War II, so, we believe, BARBARY SHORE will be one of the most memorable of its aftermath." -R.C. A symbolic treatment of the conflict between leftist and rightist political forces in the United States.

Price: US$1250.00 + shipping
Description: First edition. From the collection of Adeline Lubell-Naiman. INSCRIBED "To Adel and Lucky / - from the sweet / megalomaniac / With love / Norman / April 1951." Head of spine creased and bumped, edge wear to the cheap boards, light foxing to endpapers, small stain to fore edge, otherwise about very good in lightly chipped dust jacket with rubbing to edges and folds. Adeline Lubell-Naiman was the editor instrumental in the eventual publication of THE NAKED AND THE DEAD. In 1946, while an editor at Little, Brown, Lubell-Naiman convinced Mailer to submit the first 200 pages of THE NAKED AND THE DEAD, which she talked up to her publisher. Unfortunately, she was also the one to suggest historian and critic Bernard DeVoto read the manuscript--he recommended not publishing. But Mailer submitted it to Rinehart, who published the book in 1948. Over the years, Lubell-Naiman remained close friends with Mailer and his wives. In the summer of 1968 she even played the role of "Adeline McCarthy," a president of a women's college in Mailer's film "Maidstone" (Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center website). GOOD ASSOCIATION
