Description

E. J. Kahn's byline is a byword to New Yorker readers, a signal of perfect prose and fascinating reportage. Here, spanning forty-one years of writing for the magazine, are stories and accounts (and verses, and those short humorous pieces known at The New Yorker as "casuals") that are as lively and timely as his articles in this week's New Yorker.E. J. Kahn's far-flung writings include such topics as: Nixon's cocker spaniel; General MacArthur's funeral; Al Capp's Shmoos; Grace Kelly's wedding; Doctor Seuss; Frank Sinatra; the Harvard Yard the day the students took over; Brenda Frazier; Guy Lom- bardo; Johnny Vander Meer's second successive no-hitter; Joshua Logan; Eleanor Roosevelt; David Rockefeller, Thomas Mann at Princeton; the Olympic Games (from all over the world); plus foreign correspondence from Russia, Japan, Korea, New Guinea, Las Vegas, and places north, south, east, and west.A copious feast, a sparkling distillation, Far-Flung and Footloose is perfect for readers of The New Yorker and for all lovers of the art of journalism.
