WHILE ROME BURNS

by Alexander Woollcott ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 5, 1934

Collected chiefly from the New Yorker -- portraits, anecdotes, Pearson-like glee in good, mysterious and gory mysteries, legends in the making, reminiscences, travel. Among the portraits, Kathleen Norris, Dorothy Parker, Charles McArthur, Joe Cooke, Frank Lloyd Wright, Maxine Elliott and so on give an idea of the variety of interests touched upon. Potpourri written in the high-pitched Woollcott vein, frequently very apt and very amusing. Woollcott's radio personality as The Town Crier has widened his popularity, so that this book should be easy selling. Radio publicity for the book plus advertising should start it off well.
