Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. 97 pages. *This issue includes first publication of a four page short story by Ian McEwan entitled 'Without Blood'. ***'Ian McEwan's first book of stories, "First Love, Last Rites", has recently been published by Jonathan Cape' [Quote taken from Author Notes section at the back of the magazine]…***'The collection ["First Love, Last Rites"] is McEwan's first published work and was regarded by the author [along with his second collection of short stories, "In Between the Sheets"] as an opportunity to experiment and find his voice as a writer. In an interview with Christopher Ricks in 1979, McEwan commented, "They were a kind of laboratory for me. They allowed me to try out different things, to discover myself as a writer." As a piece of work that portrays McEwan, the writer, at his youngest, it is perhaps fitting that the dominant theme is that of adolescence, of the blurry and perilous divide between childhood and adulthood; in addition themes of sex, perversion, and the grotesque in its many forms feature throughout.

Contact seller5-star sellerWraps. 96 p. Includes illustrations. From Wikipedia: "Encounter was a literary magazine, founded in 1953 by poet Stephen Spender and journalist Irving Kristol. The magazine ceased publication in 1991. Published in the United Kingdom, it was a largely Anglo-American intellectual and cultural journal, originally associated with th…e anti-Stalinist left. The magazine received covert funding from the Central Intelligence Agency, after the CIA and MI6 discussed the founding of an "Anglo-American left-of-center publication" intended to counter the idea of cold war neutralism. The magazine was rarely critical of American foreign policy, but beyond this editors had considerable publishing freedom. Spender served as literary editor until 1967, when he resigned due to the revelation that year of the covert Central Intelligence Agency funding of the magazine, which he had heard rumored, but had not been able to confirm. Thomas W. Braden, who headed the CIA's International Organizations Division's operations between 1951 to 1954, said that the money for the magazine "came from CIA, and few outside the CIA knew about it. We had placed one agent in a Europe-based organization of intellectuals called the Congress for Cultural Freedom." Roy Jenkins noted that earlier contributors were aware of U.S. funding, but believed it came from philanthropists including a Cincinnati gin distiller. Encounter celebrated its greatest years in terms of readership and influence under Melvin J. Lasky, who succeeded Kristol in 1958 and would serve as the main editor until the magazine closed its doors in 1991. This issue as articles on Bernard Berenson, Television. Bolshevism (by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. ); and a Soviet show trial. From Wikipedia: "Andrei Donatovich Sinyavsky (8 October 1925, Moscow 25 February 1997, Paris) was a Russian writer, dissident, political prisoner, emigrant, Professor of Sorbonne University, magazine founder and publisher. He frequently wrote under the pseudonym Adam Tertz. Good. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some pencil marks in the margins and some underlining noted. Presumed first edition/first printing of this issue.
