Beschreibung

The wonderful collection. More in Sorrow, contains thirty-five essays, profiles, parodies, and stories by Wolcott Gibbs. All but two originally appeared in the New Yorker, beginning in 1929. After an original Foreword, More in Sorrow leads off with a literary bang. In 1934 Henry Luce's Fortune magazine ran a profile of the New Yorker. The latter magazine retaliated with Gibbs' immediately famous parody, "Time. Fortune. Life. Luce". The Timestyle may have been muted in after years, but this piece is a classic, still with the power to make us stop and think about journalistic presentation. Many literary fans rated this essay a highlight of critical writing, containing one of our favorite lines. In Timestyle, Gibbs says, "Backward ran sentences until reeled the mind." James Thurber provides background on the glory days of the New Yorker, including Wolcott Gibbs and the above essay, in his memoir The Years with Ross. This is a highly collectible volume in very good shape. Check out the photos and the very aggressive price for this treasure. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-10796475505
