TLS - Typed Letter Signed
Journalist (1904–1963) closely associated with the New Yorker for almost 30 years, best known for his boxing masterpiece, The Sweet Science. TLS signed “Liebling,” one page, 7 x 10.25, New Yorker letterhead, no date. Letter to Fred Feldkamp. In part: “As both these pieces are written in the first person, a fictitious first person, they have two sets of drawbacks. 1. Some of the incidents are inexact. 2. Some of them are too damned exact. I wouldn’t want people to think that I was seriously advancing some of the sweeping damnations and yet there is too much underlying reason in the pieces that I don’t think they’re completely a burlesque. As to the Southern piece, there are incidents of Southern stupidity which are culled so directly from the wives of my two good (non–Southern) friends, that I’m sure I’d have rows with both families.” In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip mark to top edge. Accompanied by six more typed letters and notes, all signed in type by Liebling, using several pseudonyms including Russell Hastings, Russell Winchell, and William Faulkner. First time we have offered any correspondence from the worldly journalist.
