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… Read More

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
