Zustand: Muy bueno. : En el otoño de 1929, un joven de un pequeño pueblo agrícola en la zona pantanosa de Carolina del Norte llegó a la ciudad de Nueva York. Debido a una ineptitud preternatural para las matemáticas, no logró obtener un título universitario de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte y sufrió la desgracia adicional de llegar a la gran ciudad en el momento del crack bursátil. Durante los siguientes ocho años, excepto por un breve período en el que se cansó de todo el asunto y se hizo a la mar en un carguero a Leningrado, Joseph Mitchell trabajó primero en The World, luego como hombre de distrito en The Herald Tribune, y luego como reportero y redactor de artículos en The World-Telegram. Cubrió los tribunales penales, los políticos de Tammany Hall, los principales juicios por asesinato y el secuestro de Lindbergh. Escribió perfiles de varias partes de figuras notables de la época, entre ellas Eleanor Roosevelt, George Bernard Shaw y Franz Boas. Su firma, que aparecía dos o tres veces al día en The World-Telegram, se haría familiar para casi cuatrocientos mil lectores. Pero Mitchell descubrió que no eran los políticos, los líderes empresariales o las celebridades notables de la época de quienes obtenía el mayor placer al entrevistar, sino personas cuya conversación era "ingenua, la conversación de la gente que intentaba tranquilizarse o consolarse a sí misma. hablando para combatir la soledad que todos sienten". Comenzó a frecuentar gimnasios, bares clandestinos y casas de burlesque. Visitó iglesias en Harlem, cubrió el paseo marítimo y pasó tiempo en el mercado de pescado de Fulton. Fascinado por lo bizarro y lo extraño, se convertiría, en palabras de Stanley Walker, su destacado editor en The Herald Tribune, en "uno de los mejores reporteros de la ciudad". En enero de 1938, se publicó My Ears Are Bent, una colección de artículos periodísticos de Mitchell. Ese libro, que no estuvo disponible durante más de sesenta años, ahora se ha restaurado para su publicación.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. Revised Edition, 1st printing. Originally published in 1938. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. As a newsman, "Joseph Mitchell worked first at The World, then as a district man at The Herald Tribune, and then as a reporter and feature writer at The World-Telegram. He covered the criminal courts, Tammany Hall politicians, major murder trials, and the Lindbergh kidnapping. He wrote multi-part profiles of notable figures of the day, among them Eleanor Roosevelt, George Bernard Shaw, and Franz Boas. His byline, appearing two or three times a day in The World-Telegram, would become familiar to almost four hundred thousand readers. But Mitchell discovered that it was not the politicians, business leaders, or noted celebrities of the day that he got the most pleasure out of interviewing, but people whose talk was 'artless, the talk of the people trying to reassure or comfort themselves---talking to combat the loneliness everyone feels.' He began to frequent gymnasiums, speakeasies, and burlesque houses. He visited storefront churches in Harlem, covered the waterfront, and spent time at the Fulton Fish Market. Fascinated by the bizarre and the strange, he would become, in the words of Stanley Walker, his noted editor at The Herald Tribune, 'one of the best newspaper reporters in the city.' In January 1938, MY EARS ARE BENT, a collection of Mitchell's newspaper pieces, was published. A few months after the book's original publication, Mitchell joined the staff of The New Yorker, where he remained until his death in 1996." [jacket copy] "Every Joseph Mitchell story I have ever read has been---in its own way---a work of art, a fact of which the author is doubtless perfectly unaware. MY EARS ARE BENT is the saga of sideshow New York written by the angel of the odd or the imp of the perverse, as you prefer."---Clifton Fadiman. Pristine handy-sized hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, a spotless, intact jacket, all quite presentable.
