Updated: 7 Sep 2020
Now reissued in paperback with an introduction by Bill Bryson, this definitive collection brings together Sidney Joseph Perelman's comic writings, satires and parodies, from The Customer is Always Wrong and Boy Meets Gull to Is there an Osteosynchrondroitrician in the House? and The Pants Recaptured. Those new to Perelman's work will find a feast of intelligent, unpredictable comedy, as sharp today as it was on its first publication; for his lifelong fans, this is a treat.

The man who wrote many Marx Brothers movies was the greatest wordsmith America has ever produced. This collection brings together his comic essays, most of which originally appeared in The New Yorker. You have to read him with a dictionary, but it’s worth it.
