The World of SJ Perleman

Meer over het boek

A satirist and parodist, SJ Perelman's celebrated sketches lampoon the screaming absurdities of modern life and bring succour to that most persecuted minority of all: the embattled sane. Written for the New Yorker magazine, this volume contains sketches that cover almost every decade in which he wrote, from the '30s to the '70s.
