Reporting at Wit's End

Reporting at Wit's End showcases the remarkable talent of St. Clair McKelway, whose sharp wit and clear prose capture the essence of New York's vibrant, gritty life. Drawing from his works, including True Tales from the Annals of Crime and Rascality and The Big Little Man from Brooklyn, the audiobook highlights McKelway's unique ability to portray the city's unsung characters, from junkmen to detectives. This collection serves as a tribute to a forgotten writer whose narrative style was deemed too distinctive to be replicated, emphasizing his significant role in shaping New Yorker "fact writing."
