About this Item
Second edition. Foreword by Robert Benchley. Illustrations by Scott Wilson. Quarto. 182pp. Amusing bookplate front fly, corners a little bumped, very good lacking the dust jacket. Signed by Dwight Fiske. Whimsical and humorous poetry and stories by an acclaimed New York nightclub entertainer and friend and associate of the New York literati in the 1920s and 1930s, known for his borderline risque act. The printed dedication is to another witty New Yorker: "for Dawn Powell through whose inspiration many of these stories came to be." Powell's biographer Tim Page stated that Fiske "embodied a certain stereotype of the witty, sophisticated, self-deprecating homosexual," noting his "knowing and deliberately campy style." One musical historian stated that Fiske "might be compared to soiled Cole Porter, or Noel Coward in heat.". Seller Inventory # 584396
