Sobre este artículo
Houghton Mifflin Co., New York, 1962; First Edition, first printing; 8vo, 513 pages; orange cloth, silver titles; blue topstain. Houghton Mifflin Fellowship Award winning novel by journalist, novelist, and self-professed communist Clancy Sigal (1926-2017), who after moving West and graduating U.C.L.A. in 1950 went to work for Columbia Pictures, only to be fired by Harry Cohn for using the office mimeo to print radical handbills. After an unsuccessful attempt to organize a film technicians’ labor union, Sigal went to work at a Hollywood talent agency, his experiences there providing the material for his novel "Black Sunset." In 1957, fearing the HUAC investigations, Sigal fled Hollywood, driving cross-country to New York in order to, in his words, "look at America to find out why she wasn’t my country anymore." His observations on the trip were the basis for "Going Away." Soon afterward, he slinked away to London, where he remained for nearly thirty years before deciding America was his country after all, and he returned to the United States. Very Good Plus, clean, crisp, bright, corners sharp, binding tight, sound and square. In a Very Good dust jacket that is lightly rubbed at the top edge of the spine panel and has two adjacent small closed edge tears.
