Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First. From the Publisher: An intimate profile of one of America's finest journalists relays the intensity with which he lived and worked, from his lifelong affection for urban "low-life" to his professional standards of excellence as a writer. Abbott Joseph Liebling (1904 - 1963) was an American journalist who was closely associated with The New Yorker from 1935 until his death. His New York Times obituary called him "a critic of the daily press, a chronicler of the prize ring, an epicure and a biographer of such diverse personages as Gov. Earl Long of Louisiana and Col. John R. Stingo." He was known for dubbing Chicago "The Second City" and for the aphorism "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." His boxing book The Sweet Science" was named the greatest sports book of all time by Sports Illustrated. Liebling was a connoisseur of French cuisine, a subject he wrote about in Between Meals: An Appetite For Paris. Pete Hamill, editor of a Library of America anthology of Liebling's writings, said "He was a gourmand of words, in addition to food. he retained his taste for 'low' culture too: boxers and corner men, conmen and cigar store owners, political hacks and hack operators. They're all celebrated in [his] pages." This copy is near fine in white cloth with red metallic titles on the spine. A previous owner has pasted reviews of the book from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal onto the front pastedown and the ffep. No other marks or damage. The unclipped DJ has minor edgewear and minor sunning at the top jacket edge.…
