The Sea Horse: A Play

Clifton, NJ: James T. White, 1975. Later printing. INSCRIBED and dated by the author to Mel Gussow on the front endpaper: "Dear Mel / Thank you for your help / Your support / For caring about 'The Sea Horse' / Your friend / Ed / May 20 1975." Gussow was a theatre critic and cultural writer for The New York Times from 1969 until his death in 2005. He authored 8 books, served as editor for many others, and his reviews and interviews (with the likes of Arthur Miller, Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, and Tom Stoppard) became staples of students and fans of theatre for decades. His first published review was Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" in 1962, leading to a lifelong relationship with the playwright that resulted in a biography of Albee by Gussow, published in 1999. About Near Fine and unread in a Near Fine dust jacket. Binding cocked. Jacket has a tiny closed tear at the lower front panel. An attractive copy, and a nice association.
