Description: Octavo, hardcover, VG in lightly edgeworn black pictorial dj. Probable Book Club edition. 416 pages. .Mailer confronts the science of space -- the technology which has hurtled man away from his native planet. Mailer, as Aquarius, as alien observer, and as participant, dissects the bureaucratic structure, the machines, the people, the society which initiated this unnerving and unprecedented venture into the unfamiliar. . provides provocative and trenchant insights into the symbiosis of science and magic; the changing definitions of death and time, the sensuous, dread, the foriveness and damnation in the face of technology."

"Gore Vidal's singular speculations on love, sex, death, literature, politics - as penetrating and controversial as ever, in a book which will stand as a landmark in the author's versatile and distinguished career." "As a political commentator and essayist, Vidal's principal subject was the history of the United States and its society, especially how the militaristic foreign policy reduced the country to a decadent empire. His political and cultural essays were published in The Nation, the New Statesman, the New York Review of Books, and Esquire magazines. As a public intellectual, Gore Vidal's topical debates on sex, politics, and religion with other intellectuals and writers occasionally turned into quarrels with the likes of William F. Buckley Jr. And Norman Mailer. As such, and because he thought that men and women potentially are bisexual, Vidal rejected the adjectives "homosexual" and "heterosexual" when used as nouns, as inherently false terms used to classify and control people in society."

Mailer, Norman. OF A FIRE ON THE MOON. Little, Brown (1970), Boston, 1970.
Price: US$500.00 + shipping
Description: First edition. From the collection of Adeline Lubell-Naiman. INSCRIBED "To Adeline / Impatient as always to know what she will think of the latest. Love / Norman / Nov 1970." Mailer on "the science of space" - he managed to write about many things in his career with surprising clarity. Page fore edges foxed, otherwise very good in slightly rubbed dust jacket. 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).
