"The Arrangement"by Elia Kazan Stein and Day / Publishers, New York 1967 1st Ed. Kazan later adapted it into a film in 1969, directed by himself and starring Kirk Douglas. The debut novel by Elia Kazan (1909–2003), one of the most celebrated directors in American film and theater history — famous for directing A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, and East of Eden. The Arrangement became a massive bestseller upon publication in 1967, spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list. It is a semi-autobiographical novel about Eddie Anderson, a successful advertising executive of Greek-Turkish immigrant heritage who, after a near-fatal car accident, begins to question and ultimately rebel against the comfortable but spiritually empty life he has constructed — his career, his marriage, and his carefully maintained social persona. The novel is considered one of the defining literary works of the 1960s counterculture era, exploring themes of identity crisis, the American Dream's hollow promises, marital compromise, and personal reinvention. Kazan later adapted it into a film in 1969, directed by himself and starring Kirk Douglas. This is the first edition hardcover with original dust jacket — a desirable collector's copy.
