Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. The New Yorker is, of course, a bastion of superb essays, influential investigative journalism, and insightful arts criticism. But for eighty years, it%u2019s also been a hoot. In fact, when Harold Ross founded the legendary magazine in 1925, he called it %u201Ca comic weekly,%u201D and while it has grown into much more,it has also remained true to its original mission. Now an uproarious sampling of its funny writings can be found in a hilarious new collection, one as satirical and witty, misanthropic and menacing, as the first, Fierce Pajamas. From the 1920s onward%u2013but with a special focus on the latest generation%u2013here are the humorists who set the pace and stirred the pot, pulled the leg and pinched the behind of America. S. J. Perelman unearths the furious letters of a foreign correspondent in India to the laundry he insists on using in Paris (%u201CWho charges six francs to wash a cummerbund?!%u201D). Woody Allen recalls the %u201CWhore of Mensa,%u201D who excites her customers by reading Proust (or, if you want, two girls will explain Noam Chomsky). Steve Martin%u2019s pill bottle warns us of side effects ranging from hair that smells of burning tires to teeth receiving radio broadcasts. Andy Borowitz provides his version of theater-lobby notices (%u201CIn Act III, there is full frontal nudity, but not involving the actor you would like to see naked%u201D). David Owen%u2019s rules for dating his ex-wife start out magnanimous and swiftly disintegrate into sarcasm, self-loathing, and rage, and Noah Baumbach unfolds a history of his last relationship in the form of Zagat reviews. Meanwhile, off in a remote %u201Cwillage%u201D in Normandy, David Sedaris is drowning a mouse (%u201CThis was for the best, whether the mouse realized it or not%u201D). Plus asides, fancies, rebukes, and musings from Patty Marx, Calvin Trillin, Bruce McCall, Garrison Keillor, Veronica Geng, Ian Frazier, Roy Blount, Jr., and many others. If laughter is the best medicine, Disquiet, Please is truly a wonder drug. Piece(s) of the spine missing. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened.
