Book signed: "Gore Vidal", 5½x8¼, 308 pages. Dark
Green/Bright Red, by Gore Vidal. NY: E. P. Dutton & Co., 1950. Hardcover
with dust jacket. Signed on the title page. Gore Vidal's (1925-2012) 22
novels include Julian, Myra Breckinridge and the "American
chronicles" series of historical political novels. His work as a
screenwriter includes Ben-Hur and Visit to a Small Planet. He
is also a playwright and essayist. Vidal's outspoken left-wing politics,
homosexuality and atheism have made him a controversial figure. His series of
ten, vitriolic debates with conservative pundit William Buckley during the
presidential nominating conventions of 1968 are legendary. Vidal loved to
ridicule American idols, calling Theodore Roosevelt "an American sissy" and the
Kennedys "the holy family." Vidal observed: "There is not one human problem
that could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise." Pages toned
and stained (not effecting signature). Cover torn and lightly toned. Otherwise,
fine condition.
