Just Enough Liebling (Paperback)

Abbott Joseph Liebling was one of the greatest of all "New Yorker" writers, a colorful figure who helped set the magazine's urbane tone and style." Just Enough Liebling" gathers in one volume the vividest and most enjoyable of his pieces. Charles McGrath (in "The New York Times Book Review") praised it as "a judicious sampling-a useful window on Liebling's vast body of writing and a reminder, to those lucky enough to have read him the first time around, of why he was so beloved." Today Liebling is best known as a celebrant of the "sweet science" of boxing, and as a "feeder" who ravishes the reader with his descriptions of food and wine. But as David Remnick observes in his fond and insightful introduction, Liebling is "boundlessly curious, a listener, a boulevardier, a man of appetites and sympathy"-and a writer who, with his great friend and colleague Joseph Mitchell, deftly traversed the boundaries between reporting and storytelling, between news and art.
