Author: STYRON, William Title: Sophie's Choice Publication: New York: Random House, (1979) Edition: First Edition. A very good copy in the publisher's brown cloth, with some foxing and smudges to edges, else rather nice. Top of spine gently faded. In a good dust jacket, sunned on the spine, with wear at the crown, and some foxing. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Styron on the half-title page: For Leon Golden - with best wishes. Golden, a Lecturer at Florida State, was the moderator on a panel held in March 1997 at Florida State University, on the topic of War and Racism in American Culture. The three star panelists were Styron, Kurt Vonnegut, and Joseph Heller, all of whom were veterans of World War II, and who wrote novels which are emblematic of the theme under discussion. The panel discussion took place on March 21, 1997. It later aired on C-Span, and is available on their website.
