Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xvii. [3], 347, [1] pages. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads To Gene G. E. Brummell. Cover has slight curl at front edges. Author's Note. "My mother had tried to run me down and then threatened to shoot me, a stranger tried to seduce me at a urinal, and now this guy was acting like a child with a rag doll. Was there something about being blind that made me a target for crazy people?" This is the story of a black soldier's journey through Vietnam, blindness, and back. Funny, risqué, bittersweet, and inspiring, a memoir of growing up black in rural Maryland, joining the Army at age 17, posted to Korea, then Germany, and finally Vietnam in 1966 where the author was blinded by a landmine and had to learn to live with blindness, and overcome life's obstacles with determination, humor, and humility. A touching, funny, sexy memoir about both the African American experience and learning to live on the other side of darkness. George Brummell returned to Vietnam in 1998 on a goodwill tour. He rode with bicycling champion Greg LeMond, perched on the back of a two-seater with other wounded veterans from both sides of the conflict. The author became the National Field Service Director of the Blinded Veterans Association. The Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) is a U.S non-profit organization that was established to "help veterans and their families meet and overcome the challenges of blindness". Services from BVA are available to all veterans who have become blind, either during or after active duty. The BVA employs Field Service Representatives, who have been strategically placed in different geographical areas throughout the United States. Their goal is to locate and assist blinded veterans in overcoming the challenges inherent in sight loss. Since all of the Field Representatives are legally blind veterans themselves, they can be effective role models in demonstrating that fellow veterans can take charge of their lives. Field Representatives are responsible for linking veterans with local services, assuring that the newly blinded take advantage of VA Blind Rehabilitation Services, and assisting them with VA claims when necessary. When blinded veterans are ready to return to the workforce, BVA Field Representatives can assist them with employment training and placement.
S.l., Galilée, (2012). Un vol. au format in-8 étroit (227 x 128 mm) de 87 pp., broché, sous couverture à rabats rempliés. Edition originale. ''Brummell fut le Prince des Dandys, dit-on. Il fut aussi et surtout un individu grossier, égoïste, agressif, ironique, cynique, mal poli, menteur, escroc, insultant, arrogant, suffisant, prétentieux ? et, bien sûr, content de lui, vivant de reprocher aux autres leur mauvais goût, leur inélégance, leur fatuité, leur manque d?éducation. Ce personnage réel, recouvert par son mythe et sa légende, fut l?étoile brillante de la société mondaine anglaise pendant une vingtaine d?années, avant d?être, pendant un quart de siècle, sur le sol français, un pitoyable personnage, un raté minable, un pique-assiette mal élevé, un misanthrope syphilitique, puis un demi-fou enfermé à l?asile. Comment un homme si détestable a-t-il pu devenir le personnage conceptuel du dandysme pensé comme une éthique de l?élégance et de l?aristocratie, du bon goût et de la singularité ? De quelle manière cet adulte, qui ne fut jamais qu?un gamin mal élevé, est-il devenu l?incarnation du poète de l?existence ? Par la grâce d?un autre dandy, Jules Barbey d?Aurevilly, qui publie Du dandysme ou de George Brummell,et de Charles Baudelaire. Brummell fut un déchet ; Barbey en fit un astre noir ; Baudelaire, un feu latent qui pouvait rayonner, mais ne voulut pas? Le dandy a-t-il encore des choses à nous dire en ces temps nihilistes ?'' Plats présentant un éclat très légèrement altéré. Du reste, très belle condition.
