Arcade, New York, 1993. 5th trade paperback printing. Condition: Near fine, very light edge wear, price sticker on rear cover.Acclaimed by Norman Mailer more than twenty years ago as "possibly the only American writer of genius," William S.

Paragon, New York, 1987. First trade paperback edition. Condition: Near fine, very light edge wear, price sticker on rear cover.This text consists of two notebooks that the Nobel laureate kept during a short trip to the U.S. in 1946 and during a longer stay in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile in 1949 during periods of stress and hectic public appearances, when he was tired, nervous, ill and vulnerable.
