Synopsis
Adam Gopnik presents the very best of S. J. Perelman, America's zaniest humorist. S. J. Perelman (1904-1979) wrote for the Marx Brothers films Horse Feathers and Monkey Business and won an Oscar for his screenwriting on Around the World in Eighty Days , but he remains best known for his many sketches and essays penned for The New Yorker during its golden age of humor. In these short comic pieces--Perelman called them feuilletons --his penchant for wordplay, witticism, spoofery, self-deprecation, and plain zaniness are on full display. The New York Times once noted his ability in these magazine pieces "to transform the common cliché or figure of speech into an exploding cigar." Author and New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik has selected the very best of them, including Perelman's parodies of books and films, his biting social satire, autobiographical pieces, and a selection from the celebrated Cloudland Revisited series, in which Perelman reminisces nostalgically about books and movies encountered in youth before describing in his inimitable hyperkinetic style the rude shock of revisiting them as an adult. Also included in this volume are the acclaimed play The Beauty Part (1963) from Perelman's Broadway career; profiles of the Marx Brothers, Dorothy Parker, and his brother-in-law Nathanael West; and a selection of letters written to correspondents such as Groucho Marx and Paul Theroux., S. J. Perelman is one of American literature's most original writers, and without question its zaniest. In the pages of The New Yorker and elsewhere he perfected a style uniquely his own, a Surrealist montage of Yiddish expressions, popular slang, clichés, non scquiturs, and traces of every book he ever read and every movie he ever saw. "Perelman is a writers' writer in the literal sense that his rhetoric-his style," writes editor Adam Gopnik in his introduction, "always emerges from his reading." This is the most wide-ranging Perelman collection ever assembled: more than sixty of his short comic sketches and satires; his two-act tour de farce The Beauty Part, a lost gem of Broadway that sparkles with madcap lunacy; essays on the Marx Brothers, Dorothy Parker, and his brother-in-law Nathaniel West; and a selection of letters written to correspondents such as Groucho Marx and Paul Theroux. The Library of America, a nonprofit publisher, is dedicated to preserving America's best and most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Book jacket., S. J.
