While not quite at the same level as Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, this collection of articles and pastiches is an enjoyable book to nibble on, a couple of stories at a time. I particularly enjoyed the ones that dealt with the book world: "A Sample of a Thousand-Guinea Novel" and "The Reading Public" had me snorting with laughter on the bus, and "Our Reading Bureau" sounded like something that could actually work today (or maybe even already exists in the form of book reviewing sites such as this one). Fans of Wodehouse, particularly Mr Mulliner, might enjoy the "Afternoon Adventures at My Club", and those who are more familiar with current affairs at the time of WW1 might get more out of stories like "The Last Man in Europe" and "Sidelights on the Supermen: An Interview with General Bernhardi". Overall, a good collection. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Dividing his time between academic pursuits and humor writing, Canadian author and scholar Stephen Leacock had a vivid, kinetic imagination. His playful mental prowess is on full display in the collection Moonbeams From the Larger Lunacy, which veers between a wide array of topics, ranging from suffrage to literary satires of overwrought purple prose. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
