If you like Perelman, you'll like this book. ( )

Funny--says a lot about culture in his day. ( )

Let me try to get it across to you how much I like S.J. Perelman. Imagine me screaming in your ear, "S.J. Perelman blows my friggin' mind, man! Can you dig it? My friggin'... mind... is... blown!"

Imagine me doing it until your ear hurts. That I would go through the trouble of alienating you just to express my love for. S.J. Perelman should give you an idea of my level of devotion. His cliché twisting prose is an endless pleasure for me, his light, almost fanciful humor and outlook like a separate world I can entire at my leisure. This out-of-print collection is as good as any other, since the basic idea is to just read as much as possible.
