First edition. Presentation copy to a New York book editor "who made a reasonably good deal --." "Tough, slick narrative of an interstellar which lasts [over] 1000 years. To the soldier hero, it seems to last about ten years, thanks to the time-dilation effect of faster-than-light travel. Good, realistic, military SF which actually subverts many of the clichés of that category ... (he was a Vietnam veteran, which helped). Initially rejected by 18 publishers, it has since sold over a million copies." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), pp. 141-2. Haldeman's first SF novel.

Corner bumped, else an excellent copy in a near fine dust jacket. Also included is the National Book Award Program which included Morrision presented Norman Mailer with the Lifetime Achievment Award. A very nice signed copy. Nominated for the National Book Award, Sula exemplifies the mysteries of death, friendship, and poverty, and its rare economy in writing is met with critical acclaim and popular success, establishing Morrison as one of the 20th century's most significant novelists. Sara Blackburn wrote that Morrison's extravagantly beautiful, doomed characters are locked in a world where hope for the future is a foreign commodity, yet they are enormously, achingly alive." And Morrison's writing is "[e]xtravagantly beautiful. . . . Enormously, achingly alive. . . . A howl of love and rage, playful and funny as well as hard and bitter" (The New York Times).

Schweizer Berg. Acryl auf Pavatex. 1974 1974 - 51 x 60 cm, Tadellos Aus der Sammlung Ernst Scheideggers. Links unten vom künsterl signiert und datiert. Kreienbühl, Jürg (geb.1932 in Basel, gest 1.11. 2007), Maler und Zeichner. Lithografie und Radierung. Lebt in Basel und Paris. Jürg Kreienbühl besucht die Schulen in Basel, verlässt allerdings das Gymnasium (mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Abteilung) vor der Matur. Nach einem Vorkurs für Grafik an der Allgemeinen Gewerbeschule 1950?51 absolviert er 1951?54 eine Lehre als Flachmaler, verzichtet jedoch auf die finanzielle Sicherheit eines Brotberufes und beginnt nach dem Lehrabschluss sofort als freier Künstler zu arbeiten. Mit einem Stipendium der Stadt Basel geht er 1956 nach Paris, wo er sich, nachdem auch das Geld eines weiteren Stipendiums aufgebraucht ist, während vieler Jahren unter schwierigsten Bedingungen durchschlägt. Menschen, die von der Gesellschaft ausgestossen worden sind oder von sich aus zu ihr auf Distanz bleiben, sind seine Nachbarn und werden zu Freunden oder seinen Modellen. Dank des Bistrowirtes Antoine Visconti, mit dem er einen Vertrag abschliesst, kann er seine ersten Bilder verkaufen. In den 60er Jahren folgen Ausstellungen auch in der Schweiz, der Durchbruch gelingt mit der Ausstellung 1973 im Aargauer Kunsthaus Aarau. Eine breitere Anerkennung findet sein Werk, das durch seinen prätentionslosen Realismus auffällt, durch die Bearbeitung von Themen, mit denen der Künstler auf Verfall und Untergang hinwWerkwürdigung:Im Werk von Jürg Kreienbühl verbinden sich Themen des Memento mori mit einem Zweifel an den Entscheidungen der Elite. Betroffen von der Unausweichlichkeit der Existenz, malt er zuerst Friedhofsbilder, dann die am Rande des Nichts stehenden Bewohner der Banlieue von Paris. Später wendet er sich aufgegebenen Unternehmungen vergangener Epochen und Generationen zu. Er baut dabei auf die Sprengkraft der sachlichen Schilderung und verzichtet auf Sensationshascherei oder Nobilitierung des Dargestellten. Selbst ein Blick auf Paris lässt hinter der Oberfläche einer trockenen und sachlichen Darstellung einen bohrenden Zweifel erahnen. Ebenso versteht Kreienbühl seinen Malstil als Protest gegen eine Avantgarde, die in seinen Augen dem Erfolg zuliebe ihre Ideale aufgegeben hat. Durch diese Haltung schlüpft er zunehmend in die Rolle eines Chronisten von Welten, die dem Untergang geweiht sind: Die Fabrik für Heiligenfiguren, in der Bilder des Ewigen zerbrochen am Boden liegen (1975), zum Verschrotten bestimmte Schiffe (1978) oder die Verdrängung ganzer Quartiere durch die Stadterweiterung von Paris werden zu Themen, die er vielfach in grossen Serien bearbeitet. Wie viele seiner Zeitgenossen wandte er sich einer figurativen Kunst zu, die alle Zweifel an der Darstellbarkeit der sichtbaren Welt radikal beiseite schiebt und ganz auf die Mittel des Realismus vertraut. Kunsthistorisches Interesse verdient sein Werk, weil er, von ganz anderen Voraussetzungen ausgehend, zu ähnlichen Ergebnissen kommt wie der in den 70er Jahren sich auch in Europa ausbreitende Fotorealismus. Parallelen ergeben sich auch mit dem ganz anders motivierten Blick von Künstlern wie beispielsweise Edward Kienholz.Die bedeutendste Wirkung erzielte er bisher durch sein Engagement für das naturhistorische Museum des Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Kreienbühl fand mit der grossen Serie über dieses Museum (1982?88) zum Thema der Naturgeschichte zurück, das ihn bereits als Gymnasiasten zu selbständigen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten angeregt hatte. Nur eine tiefe innere Krise hatte den angehenden Wissenschaftler damals auf die Bahn der Malerei gewissen. 1998 NZZ, Zurich, and SIK, Zurich / Lausanne. 3100 gr.

Freundschaftliche Korrespondenz mit dem Filmregisseur und -produzenten George Cukor (1899-1983), u. a. über Colettes Novelle "Gigi", die von ihr für die Bühne bearbeitet wurde: "This is not what I consider a final draft of Gigi, by any means, for there is plenty of work to be done on it. But I do feel it is at a stage where I should proceed according to the ideas of the director. My own concept of the play is that the whole thing should be in the mood of a rather naughty Valentine and that it must definitely have a girl in the title role who can emerge as a star. (Mind you, I do think that the part will give any actress plenty of scope and opportunity.) Another idea I have is this - - If it were a possibility that Bethel Leslie could play Gigi, it might also be a possibility that Helen Hayes would play Aunt Alicia. I know that Helen has been considering to do a play with Bethel, should the right one come along. So this might be it [.]" (a. d. Br. v. 3. IV. 1951). - Tatsächlich sollte "Gigi" dann jedoch mit der damals noch unbekannten Audrey Hepburn in der Hauptrolle besetzt werden und ebnete dieser dann ihren Weg zum Debüt auf der Leinwand. - Die Photographie mit einem hübschen Schultersück in S/W; beiliegend ein ms.

Galley Proofs for "Something Nothing"; Hone Tuwhare's fourth collection of poetry. Caveman Press (1974), Dunedin - Corrected galley proofs for Hone Tuwhare's fourth book of poetry, "Something Nothing". This title was published in Dunedin by the Caveman Press in 1974. Loose long galley leaves, dimensions: 152 x 456 mm. The leaves are printed on one side only. The leaves are held loosely within cloth boards with ties and a printed paper label on the front board. The manuscript corrections consist of the removal of the comma from "Something, Nothing" at each occurence, and changes to the page numbering. There are also a few handwritten notes (presumably made by the Caveman Press publisher Trevor Reeves) on the first leaf. The proofs do not have the contents page or the copyright page, but there is a note that the contents page is to be made in the same style as that used in "Sapwood and Milk". The illustrations by Robin White, which appear in the final published book, are not included. There are a few stains to the first few leaves, and some rubbing and wear to the corners of some leaves. "Something Nothing" has some of Tuwhare's best poems, including "Ron Mason", written after the death of RAK Mason. Several poems from "Something Nothing" were used in later anthologies of Tuwhare's poems: "Selected Poems" (1980) had seven poems from Something Nothing (along with 20 from No Ordinary Sun, 5 from Come Rain Hail, 5 from Sapwood and Milk, and 2 from Making a Fist of It.) In "Year of the Dog, Poems New and Selected"(1982), 12 of the 32 poems were from Something Nothing.
