New York, N. Y., U.S.A.: Thunder's Mouth Press/Nation Books, 2003. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Norma Barzman's extraordinary memoir, THE RED AND THE BLACKLIST, fizzes with the wit and energy of the classic Hollywood comedies of the forties. But it is also laced with the fear and claustrophobia found in the forties film noirs, as Norma and her husband Ben Barzman are driven from Hollywood-during the postwar McCarthyite witch hunt-into an emotionally difficult 30-year exile in France.

She seeks solace in a string of affairs, one of them ending in a pregnancy that she aborts. However, Norma's passion for life, Ben and her seven children, and her radical instincts, shine throughout this dazzling memoir. 20 black-and-white photographs are included.

A fine copy of the first printing. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "When Norma Levor first hit Hollywood, she was a vivacious 21-year-old, fresh out of Harvard and her first marriage. Within an hour of being unleashed on Hollywood society she was squabbling with a left-wing screenwriter named Ben Barzman, who claimed technology had made modern cinema 'way too tough for women.' Angry, Norma plunged a lemon-meringue pie into his face. Three months later they were married by a defrocked rabbi. So begins Norma Barzman's extraordinary memoir, The Red and the Blacklist, which fizzes with the wit and energy of classic Hollywood comedies, yet is also laced with the fear and claustrophobia of film noir.
