Sale, Richard. The Oscar. First English Edition. 1964. Book and dust jacket are both in good plus condition—minor foxing to page edges, and jacket shows bubbling.Â
In this satirical novel about Hollywood, the central character is a best actor nominee of mediocre ability. As such, he uses disreputable tactics to discredit his four rivals, determining that if he stands any chance of winning, his opponents must be irreparably damaged in the minds of the voters. His quest to do so takes him across a variety of Rat Pack haunts, including Palm Springs, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. This English edition, with its Absolutely Fabulous vibe, has the more amusing dust jacket.
