ISBN: 0226855856 ISBN-13: 9780226855851 Publisher: University of Chicago Press OUR PRICE: $27.72 Product Type: Paperback Published: June 2003 Annotation: A gripping tale of men struggling against nature and themselves, "Williwaw" was Gore Vidal's first novel, written at nineteen when he was first mate of the U.S. Army freight supply ship stationed in the Aleutian Islands. Here he writes of a ship caught plying the lethal, frigid Arctic waters during storm season. Tensions run high among the edgy crew and uneasy passengers even before the cruel wind that gives the book its title suddenly sweeps down from the mountains. Vividly drawn characters and a compelling murder plot combine to make "Williwaw" a classic war novel. |
