"Like lovers in a screwball comedy bickering their way toward a happy ending, The Nation and the movies were made for each other. The marriage, in this case, is particularly unstable; but it's gone on for about a century, and the awful truth of it now lies in your hands." -- from the Introduction by Stuart Klawans "Reflecting the critical, dissenting spirit that animates the 135-year-old weekly magazine, The Nation has been a magnet for the best, most provocative and contrary writing about cinema. Cinema Nation collects the finest examples of that writing -- most unpublished and unavailable since their original appearance in the magazine -- by the century's greatest writers on film."

LILLIAN HELLMAN, Her Legend and Her Legacy, by Carl Rollyson; St. Martin's Press, New York. (Throwing this one in...she was a playwright...close enough.) "Lillian Hellman, the most daring and original playwright of her generation, authored three volumes of highly acclaimed memoirs; but it is what she chose to leave out of her life or invent that makes her a continuing enigma. Carl Rollyson finally shows us the real Hellman in this in-depth literary and critical biography." This is an ex-library book, w/card pocket @ back and the typical stamps & signs associated w/library books. Book and DJ are in overall Good+ condition;DJ protected by library's cello protector. Some little indentations/rubbings to front of cello. Little stain @ top of front cover...can't tell if it's inside or outside protective cello. Dust Jacket not price-clipped: $24.95. Just kind of throwing this one in as it also falls within the general genre of "Let's pretend".....Quote from back of DJ: "But memory for all of us is so nuts...It's no news that each of us has our own reasons for pretending, denying, affirming what was there and never there." -- Lillian Hellman in Maybe                                                ***** (<  @  ^  @   >) = Place a Bid!
