About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1967. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Hardcover, 179 pages, SIGNED BY AUTHOR on half-title page. Minor dust jacket edge wear and rub, otherwise, very clean and tight copy. The third book, a collection of eight short stories, by this Australian-American writer, one which is "a masterpiece of observation which clearly demonstrates the authors perceptive wit. Set in the 1950s, amidst the corridors and offices of the newly created monolithic and meandering bureaucracy of 'the Organization' (read the United Nations, where Hazzard worked for 10 years) an American-based concern intent on inflicting improvement the world over, readers are introduced to an immalleable world hemmed in by regulations, memoranda and mediocrity. A place where once vibrant personalities are smothered and strangulated by red tape, and the general life-sapping realities of paper-pushing and the exacting demands of pointless tasks reign paramount.
