Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 912 pages. Published in 2021. Massive Biography on subject. One of the greatest literary biographies ever written in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. AL…L of the latter were published abroad only. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. In fact, MOST copies were subsequently and hurriedly destroyed by Norton, which feared a massive boycott from censor-activists on the Left. This was, in effect, nothing less than an unprecedented assault on free speech - that inevitably and unwittingly resulted in an ongoing and effective backlash from the Right, sadly derailing the Feminist/"MeToo" Movement as a result. Presents Blake Bailey's "Philip Roth: The Biography". The beleaguered and hapless author's indisputably best book: "A narrative masterwork" (Cynthia Ozick). "Shows how Roth emerged from a lower-middle-class Jewish milieu to achieve the heights of fame" (Publisher's blurb). Among Roth's many achievements: His masterly and unsurpassable novels, which Blake Bailey discusses in lucent detail. An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Roth and Blake Bailey collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Blake Bailey. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page or bookplate. It is also very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen by one of Philip Roth's lifelong friends (who cannot be named here) upon the page where his close friendship with the writer is specifically discussed by Blake Bailey. Which makes this signed copy quite special indeed. This title is a great book. This is the only such double-signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare double-signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with lovely vintage plates. Six of Philip Roth's novels were selected as among the Top 20 works of American fiction of the last 25 years: "American Pastoral", "The Counterlife", "Operation Shylock", "Sabbath's Theater", "The Human Stain", and "The Plot Against America". Two of the greatest writers, Roth and Bailey both, of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PHILIP ROTH AND BLAKE BAILEY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 039324072X.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Near fine. Single sheet of Blake's stationery, bearing his address in Brooklyn, and printed with a lengthy list of songs and productions in which he played a role in composing. Letter in near fine condition, with flattened mailing folds. Original (torn) mailing envelope retained, with Vaughan's address in Hidden Hill…s, CA written in Blake's hand, and with a number of seemingly unrelated ink notations to verso. Autograph letter of more than 30 lines, including postscript, profusely apologizing to legendary jazz singer Sarah Vaughan for a remark he made to her, along the lines of, "when are you going to learn how to sing?" The letter reads, in full (slightly edited for clarity): Dear Sarah, I'm writing this letter to you and I'm trembling with fear. I shall never again joke with an artist any more. When I said to you, "when are you going to learn how to sing?" I was joking. I'm very, very sorry that you took my joking as a Slander [sic]. I've [told so] many of your friends, [speaking?] you + Lottie Gee. You both had, + you have got 2 ranges. I know another artist [who] had two voices. Anyhow you have it and you know when + how to use it. So when I joked to you, you knowing that I was a musician, I was joking. Please for goodness sake, don't think that I'm that [dumb?] to ridicule your [singing]. No. No. No. Please. One of your friends said to me to send you my [song] "Memories of You." Now I'm afraid to send it to you. Any how whether you believe me or not I love your style of singing, and please tell your husband I was only joking. [Sincerely?] Eubie Blake. P. P. I have two numbers I'd like to send you--"Memories of You," and "Calling Romance." E. B." Blake lived a long life, and had a long and successful career in jazz, from the Ragtime era all the way into the postwar period of free jazz and experimentation. He is perhaps best remembered as the co-composer (with frequent collaborator Noble Sissle) of the hit 1921 musical "Shuffle Along." Blake was generous with his autograph, and his long career in performance afforded him countless opportunities to give it. However, we've never encountered such a revealing and heartfelt letter; much less to such a significant fellow jazz figure. The final request--that Vaughan pass along the apology to her husband--is, in the opinion of this cataloguer, an example of the kind of soft misogyny that could plague even some of the most accomplished women in the performing arts.
