"A collections of the very best writings of America's funniest and zaniest humorist, made by the comic genius himself, is reissued in a handsome paperback. Here, S. J. Perelman's gift for wordplay, witticism, spoofery, and sheer nonsense are on full display. In a playful, loving tribute to the funny man, novelist Joshua Cohen-also an erudite wordsmith and punster-introduces Perelman's sui generis comic pieces to a new generation of readers, certain to fall in love with the writer whom The New York Times once noted for his ability "to transform the common clich???e or figure of speech into an exploding cigar." Included here are such beloved classics as the Joycean virtuoso performance "Scenario"; "A Farewell to Omsk," an homage to Dostoevsky; and Perelman's side-splitting send-up of the hardboiled detective fiction of Raymond Chandler, "Farewell, My Lovely Appetizer."-- Provided by publisher.
