Mckelway st clair (33 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Why does A. J. Liebling remain a vibrant role model for writers while the superb, prolific St. Clair McKelway has been sorely forgotten? James Wolcott asked this question in a recent review of the Complete>New Yorker>on DVD. Anyone who has read a single paragraph of McKelway's work would struggle to provide an answer.

The rascals. An amazing portrait of a long forgotten New York by the reporter who helped establish and utterly defined>New Yorker>fact writing, Untitled Collection>is long overdue celebration of a truly gifted writer.…
