		Wolcott Gibbs (1902 - 1958) is most noted as a humourist, parodist, drama critic, and short story writer for The New Yorker magazine from 1927 until his death in 1958.
		Because Wolcott Gibbs was contributing to The New Yorker during the same time period as the better-known Alexander Woollcott it is has been mistakenly reported that Wolcott and Woollcott were related.
		In fact, Wolcott Gibbs was a cousin of Edna Ferber -- yet another member of the Algonquin set -- but he was no relation to Woollcott.

	NIH Reviews: Wolcott Gibbs
		Gibbs' own short stories are always entertaining, and some are definitely superior to stories by other writers whose work is still remembered.
		Several of Gibbs' stories demonstrate a highly developed understanding of the drinking life, an understanding of which may be of interest to both the more and less serious drinkers among you.
		So Gibbs' writing is still a refreshing (sic) break from a world in which the good life has become identified with the possession of a sports utility vehicle, progressive social policy has become identified with the buiding of casinos, and literature is held to include items like The Celestine Prophecy.
