Night hawk Wolfe and Scribners crew in New York
The North Carolinian author Thomas Wolfe is described as a perpetual night owl by publicist William Weber of Scribner’s Sons. Wolfe allegedly slept at his desk on arrival, while journalist Keith Fowler works on radio scripts and James Boyd visits at Scribner’s. The piece questions Sally Rand’s fan dance and Tobacco Road’s long run, notes New York slang, and reports scarce sightings of Margaret Hauser and a lone drunk on the streets. Beer and orangeade are cited as New York’s favorite drinks.
