Description:
When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, he described it as a "comic weekly". And although it has become much more than that, it has remained true in its heart to the founder's description, publishing virtually every accomplished practitioner of literary laughter of the modern era: James Thurber, S. J. Perelman, Robert Benchley, Dorothy Parker, Vladimir Nabokov, Donald Barthelme, George W. S. Trow, Groucho Marx, Veronica Geng, Ian Frazier, Garrison Keillor, Woody Allen, Bruce McCall, Roz Chast, Roger Angell, Steve Martin, Christopher Buckley, Susan Orlean, Wendy Wasserstein. This anthology will gather together, for the first time, many of these great writers' greatest work. It will include not only the straight parodies and spoofs for which The New Yorker has become the talk of many towns, but also humorous full-blown short stories, hilarious landmark reviews, and reporting as funny as it is informative. A wonderful gift for others or a delightful present for oneself, Fierce Pajamas will present the best examples of literary laughter in all its variations from a publication that for decades has defined America's heartiest and most sophisticated sense of humor.
