In addition to numerous and varied pursuits, including a 1969 Democratic primary bid for New York mayor and a two-year term as President of the American Center of P.E.N. in the mid-1980s, Mailer continued to produce best-selling fiction such as Why Are We in Vietnam? (1967), Ancient Evenings (1983), Tough Guys Don't Dance (1984), Harlot's Ghost (1991), and The Castle in the Forest (2007). Other pieces included full-length biographies of Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso, and Lee Harvey Oswald as well as shorter works for magazines and journals. One of these which first appeared in Vanity Fair is "How the Wimp Won the War," a critique of the 1991 Iraqi invasion by President George Bush as an attempt to rehabilitate the loss in Viet Nam. Lord John Press published this in book form and this is one of 275 signed and numbered copies. Item #16-3591
