Roger Angell's Copy of U and I by Nicholson Baker

Sports essayist and New Yorker fiction editor Roger Angell died on May 20 of this year at the age of 101. Now, works from his library are beginning to appear on the market. They are offered by M. S. Books of Salisbury, Maryland. U and I: A True Story is Nicholson Baker's personal and unconventional reflection on his obsessive relationship with the work of author John Updike, the U of the title. Angell's volume is inscribed "To Roger/With thanks—/Nick/March 27, 1991," the year of publication. Unlike most copies, then, it has an association with a third New Yorker writer.
