Glibson -
George Tichenor
1933 - Farrar &, New York - First Edition
A fine first edition of this ‘kaleidoscopic view of many lives in the business turmoil leading up to and away from the Wall Street crash of 1929’.
‘Meet Mr. Glibson, a boomtime banker, who’s glided through depression and still lives high, wide and handsome......
This is the story of how he became the great Blabit of banking. The most withering portrayal of financial boobery in high places, savage, ruthless, funny, wise and courageous.’
‘As Public Relations Counsel, later, banker, Glibson is successful because he stands for nothing and though he is unscrupulous and ambitious he is understandable and even likeable. The story is good reporting, good dialogue, sometimes honest and sometimes theatrical. Occasionally reminiscent of Dos Passos. - An early review. George Tichenor III born 1906 in New Orleans, educated at Tulane University. A free lance writer and photographer, author of two popular novels, Gibson and Manhattan Prodigal, contributed travel articles to the New York Times and many other publications, and was an accomplished labour Journalist.
