first edition Hardcover
1984 · London
by MAILER, Norman
London: Michael Joseph, 1984. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First English edition. Fine in a very slightly rubbed, fine dustwrapper. Mailer took it upon himself to adapt and direct his novel in 1987 featuring Ryan O'Neal and Isabella Rossellini, for which he was nominated for two Razzie Awards (as was most of the cast) and "winning" for Worst Director (sharing the dubious distinction with Elaine May for *Ishtar*). The English edition is marginally scarcer than the ubiquitous American edition. (Inventory #: 77181)
