Description: PARTY OF ONE: Selected Writing by Clifton Fadiman (1955) Format: Hardcover Edition: 1955 EditionCondition: Good, some wear on dust jacket and foxing of some pages, see photos. Description: This 60-year-old collection of essays by a not-so-famous book reviewer is surprisingly good! Clifton Fadiman was well known in his day, an early hit on radio and TV, and a source of many amusing quotations. The author makes a strong case for the importance of literature with reviews of Henry James, Dickens, and other famous novelists. He does not particularly like the novels of Gertrude Stein and William Faulkner. In addition, Fadiman had entertaining opinions on lots of other topics. Fireworks, famous last words, children's book, and science fiction are among the other topics he covers. All in all, an entertaining book with fine examples of the classical personal essay.
