It is one of the " trunk manuscripts " that Beckett once said almost outnumber the published works ... However, it differs from other unpublished dramatic writing - at least that aboout which anything is known - in being complete, and having been released for circulation among Paris theater producers ...

Vernor Vinge - Long Shot .... Roger Zelazny - The Keys to December ... These are stories of discovering those possibilities - the stories of the explorers and pioneers who push the envelope further out - exciting tales of alien landscapes and adventures on far-distant shores that are the heart and soul of science fiction ... "The Sentinel," a classic Arthur C. Clarke tale of a man discovering an alien artifact on the moon (the inspiration for 2001: A Space Odyssey), shows the quintessential explorer of the time: alone, in charge of his environment, and happy that way. "Grandpa," by James H. Schmitz, concerns the indomitable spirit of Man, or at least Boy, and his natural lordship over all things alien. In Niven's "Becalmed in Hell," we meet a cyborg, and Zelazny introduces us to a population genetically engineered to the edge of humanity in "The Keys to December." Le Guin's story, "Vaster Than Empires and More Slow," suggests that in order to explore alien territory, you must be insane. Tiptree's piece, "The Man Who Walked Home," is a brilliant portrayal of the tension between the need to explore the unknown, and the human cost of that need. Stories by Varley and Swanwick, Baxter and Egan, show humans from an alien perspective: we are no longer the sum and center of the universe, merely a part...

	EMERSON, GLORIA Loving Graham Greene - a Novel By Gloria Emerson USA: Random House, 2000. Later Printing.

Jacket protected in New, clear non-stick mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... " In Graham Greene's short story "The Lottery Ticket," a naive American tries to assist a Third World country and instead sows discord and pain. The same thing happens to heiress Molly Benson, the main character in Emerson's sobering first novel. Molly has long been obsessed with the English author, and especially with his feeling for the Third World; she met Greene in Antibes in 1977, and has corresponded with him since. (The bits of Greene's letters included here are really his, a preface states she sent them "to an American friend.") Molly's brother, Harry, a political journalist, died nobly, she believes in Central America, in 1981. The narrative begins in 1991 with Greene's own death, which proves another turning point in Molly's life: she decides to travel to Algeria "in the hope of rescuing a few writers there ... Her Algerian experiences force Molly to confront reality, and undermine her ideas about her brother and about Greene. Emerson's nonfiction includes Winners & Losers (about the Vietnam War, and a National Book Award winner) and Gaza: A Year in the Intifada. Obviously, her travels and her research inform this fascinating chronicle of Algeria's political plight in the early '90s. Greene's devotees will enjoy the ways in which Emerson's prose and plots respond to Greene's touch of The Quiet American here, a bit of The Power and the Glory there." ...

	HUXLEY, ALDOUS / DAVID BRADSHAW ED. Aldous Huxley - between the Wars - Essays and Letters Chicago: Ivan R Dee, 1994. First American Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. 6 x 8-1/2 x 1 " 156663055X 1994 Hardcover in DJ. Brand new from publisher ... Last one ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked. Excellent Gift Giving quality. Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve. 255 pages with index. Skilfully edited & introduced, this book contains Aldous Huxley essays on art & literature, letters to H.L. Mencken & H.G. Wells, as well as social & political writings from the early and later 1930s. It enhances Huxley's stature as one of the giants of modern English prose and of social commentary of our time.The Aldous Huxley letters and essays published here in book form , for the first time, reveal the time between World Wars One and Two to be a time of ferment for Huxley - he was moving from his fascination with elitist rule, toward an appreciation of common people.' Until this book, the depth of Huxley's distaste for mass society was undocumented - as was his disdain for parliamentary democracy, and later mutation into a point man for the anti fascist intelligentsia, and his becoming a sporkesman for the dispossessed. Typical of his era, here was Huxley denouncing parliamentary democracy as a system "whereby confidence tricksters, rich men and quacks may be given power by the votes of an electorate composed in great part of mental Peter Pans. " He was also on about the possibilities of eugenics to 'improve the human breed' ; even compulsory sterilization attracted his attention. Ye he was scarcely aloof. He was aware of social and political upheavals of the period, made frequent visits to England to investigate them, and wrote trenchantly about them. His visit to a mining village prompted a tribute to its miners that foreshadowed by six years Orwell's praise in The Road to Wigan Pier. The deteriorating situation in Germany following Hitler's appointment as chancellor in 1933 and Huxley's firsthand experience with Mussolini 's fascism, as well as with victims of Nazi oppression, finally led to what the editor of this collection calls " a sea change in Huxley's attitude to authoritarianism. " Titles include : Babies - State Property , Abroad in England , Victory of Art over Humanity , Sight-Seeing in Alien Englands, Is Cruelty out of Date ?, Science and Civilisation, Dispatches from the Riviera, Sex the Slump and Salvation, Education, Prospects of Fascism in England, Casino and Bourse, Artists against Facism and War, and many more ...

These are stories of discovering those possibilities - the stories of the explorers and pioneers who push the envelope further out - exciting tales of alien landscapes and adventures on far-distant shores that are the heart and soul of science fiction ... "The Sentinel," a classic Arthur C. Clarke tale of a man discovering an alien artifact on the moon (the inspiration for 2001: A Space Odyssey), shows the quintessential explorer of the time: alone, in charge of his environment, and happy that way. "Grandpa," by James H. Schmitz, concerns the indomitable spirit of Man, or at least Boy, and his natural lordship over all things alien. In Niven's "Becalmed in Hell," we meet a cyborg, and Zelazny introduces us to a population genetically engineered to the edge of humanity in "The Keys to December." Le Guin's story, "Vaster Than Empires and More Slow," suggests that in order to explore alien territory, you must be insane. Tiptree's piece, "The Man Who Walked Home," is a brilliant portrayal of the tension between the need to explore the unknown, and the human cost of that need. Stories by Varley and Swanwick, Baxter and Egan, show humans from an alien perspective: we are no longer the sum and center of the universe, merely a part...

Jacket protected in New, clear non-stick mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... " In Graham Greene's short story "The Lottery Ticket," a naive American tries to assist a Third World country and instead sows discord and pain. The same thing happens to heiress Molly Benson, the main character in Emerson's sobering first novel. Molly has long been obsessed with the English author, and especially with his feeling for the Third World; she met Greene in Antibes in 1977, and has corresponded with him since. (The bits of Greene's letters included here are really his, a preface states she sent them "to an American friend.") Molly's brother, Harry, a political journalist, died nobly, she believes in Central America, in 1981. The narrative begins in 1991 with Greene's own death, which proves another turning point in Molly's life: she decides to travel to Algeria "in the hope of rescuing a few writers there ... Her Algerian experiences force Molly to confront reality, and undermine her ideas about her brother and about Greene. Emerson's nonfiction includes Winners & Losers (about the Vietnam War, and a National Book Award winner) and Gaza: A Year in the Intifada. Obviously, her travels and her research inform this fascinating chronicle of Algeria's political plight in the early '90s. Greene's devotees will enjoy the ways in which Emerson's prose and plots respond to Greene's touch of The Quiet American here, a bit of The Power and the Glory there." ...

	HUXLEY, ALDOUS / DAVID BRADSHAW ED. Aldous Huxley - between the Wars - Essays and Letters Chicago: Ivan R Dee, 1994. First American Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. 6 x 8-1/2 x 1 " 156663055X 1994 Hardcover in DJ. Brand new from publisher ... Last one ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked. Excellent Gift Giving quality. Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve. 255 pages with index. Skilfully edited & introduced, this book contains Aldous Huxley essays on art & literature, letters to H.L. Mencken & H.G. Wells, as well as social & political writings from the early and later 1930s. It enhances Huxley's stature as one of the giants of modern English prose and of social commentary of our time.The Aldous Huxley letters and essays published here in book form , for the first time, reveal the time between World Wars One and Two to be a time of ferment for Huxley - he was moving from his fascination with elitist rule, toward an appreciation of common people.' Until this book, the depth of Huxley's distaste for mass society was undocumented - as was his disdain for parliamentary democracy, and later mutation into a point man for the anti fascist intelligentsia, and his becoming a sporkesman for the dispossessed. Typical of his era, here was Huxley denouncing parliamentary democracy as a system "whereby confidence tricksters, rich men and quacks may be given power by the votes of an electorate composed in great part of mental Peter Pans. " He was also on about the possibilities of eugenics to 'improve the human breed' ; even compulsory sterilization attracted his attention. Ye he was scarcely aloof. He was aware of social and political upheavals of the period, made frequent visits to England to investigate them, and wrote trenchantly about them. His visit to a mining village prompted a tribute to its miners that foreshadowed by six years Orwell's praise in The Road to Wigan Pier. The deteriorating situation in Germany following Hitler's appointment as chancellor in 1933 and Huxley's firsthand experience with Mussolini 's fascism, as well as with victims of Nazi oppression, finally led to what the editor of this collection calls " a sea change in Huxley's attitude to authoritarianism. " Titles include : Babies - State Property , Abroad in England , Victory of Art over Humanity , Sight-Seeing in Alien Englands, Is Cruelty out of Date ?, Science and Civilisation, Dispatches from the Riviera, Sex the Slump and Salvation, Education, Prospects of Fascism in England, Casino and Bourse, Artists against Facism and War, and many more ...
