Description: A witty, expiermental novel from Gore Vidal, the famed public intellectual, essayist, and author of Myra Breckinridge and the Narratives of Empire series. Vidal's satirical novel follows the lives of a group of people who become obsessed with a fictional television show called Duluth. As the lines between reality and fiction begin to blur, the characters' lives become increasingly intertwined with the show's narrative, leading to unexpected consequences. DULUTH: A Novel, by Gore Vidal. Book Club Edition, 1983. Hardcover. New York: Random House. Blue Paper Boards with Silver Lettering Stamped to Spine. Small Octavo. Deckled Fore Edge. 214 pages. A very good to near-fine BCE with straight boards, square spine, sharp corners, and tight binding. Minor shelf wear and rubbing to tail, else fine. Pristine interior with clean, crisp pages. Toning to top edge of text block. NO writing. NO previous owner names. Comes in a very good illustrated dust jacket with minor wear to corners and head of spine, else great. Colors remain vibrant. Now protected in Mylar. Vidal, as usual, was ahead of his time with this novel, eerily foreshadowing our obsession with reality TV, unfettered access to the "characters" we see on our screens, and the overall impact of media on our lives.
