I'd Hate Myself in the Morning; a memoir

(price-clipped) [no significant wear to book, although the spine is slightly turned; the jacket shows only faint handling wear, although the price-clipping is a bit more extreme than one might wish (no loss of text, however)]. (B&W photographs) Memoir of the noted screenwriter, whose career was derailed by the Hollywood blacklist (he was one of the original "Hollywood Ten"), but who made a notable return to the screen as the writer of THE CINCINNATI KID (1965) and M*A*S*H (1970), winning an Academy Award for the latter, to set alongside the one he received for WOMAN OF THE YEAR back in 1942. Introduction by Victor Navasky, who wrote so movingly and insightfully about the blacklist in his book "Naming Names." (Lardner, of course, did not name names before HUAC; the title of his memoir comes from his 1947 testimony, during which he told Committee chairman J. Parnell Thomas that he could answer "the question" about whether he was or had ever been a member of the Communist Party, but that "if I did, I would hate myself in the morning.")
