I think I first stumbled on the New York Review of Books website a couple of months ago. Don't know why I'd never heard of it before; I'm completely enthralled now. I've ordered books for my kids, and I ordered this one for myself. This book of short stories was initially published in 1911. In it, Leacock takes satiric aim at genre fiction. He tackles the mystery, the romance, the high seas adventure, the simple midwestern farm tale, and several more. It's a quick read, and very funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will enjoy handing it to my kids after they've read some of the more classic books (Sherlock Holmes, Little House on the Prairie, Horatio Hornblower, etc.). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: In this collection of hilarious literary satires, Canadian humorist Stephen Leacock jaunts from genre to genre, gleefully skewering mysteries, ghost stories, detective novels, and virtually every other type of fiction you can think of. It's a light but surprisingly insightful look at the excesses of twentieth-century prose that will amuse and delight readers. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This might almost be even funnier than Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, although I’d have to read that again to be sure. At any rate, I would certainly recommend this for anyone who has a nodding acquaintance with the various genres of Victorian fiction. They may also be funny on their own, because they are so delightfully absurd. ( )
