The Oblong Blur and Other Odysseys

Author: HAMBURGER, Philip
Title: The Oblong Blur and Other Odysseys
Publication: New York: Farrar, Straus, 1949

Description: Hardcover. First edition. Fine in an about very good, price-clipped, Birnbaum-designed dustwrapper with some chipping at the crown and rear panel, and other modest wear. This copy Inscribed, apparently to the wife of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author J.P. Marquand: "For Mrs. J.P. Marquand With all good wishes - from Philip Hamburger (who does not swipe plates) N.Y.C. May, 1951" (the "Mrs." is smudged and could read "Mr."). In 1952 Hamburger wrote a biography of J.P. Marquand entitled *J.P. Marquand Esquire: A Portrait in the Form of a Novel.* This is the author's first book, a scarce collection of his often humorous columns from his first ten years with *The New Yorker,* with an interesting association.
