by Ring Lardner; Introduction by Jonathan Yardley
Ring Lardner's quirky imagination and his ear for the American vernacular endeared him to such formidable critics as H.L. Mencken, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dorothy Parker, and Virginia Woolf. This collection brings together 20 of Lardner's best pieces, including the six Jack Keefe stories which comprise "You Know Me Al".
Summary
From the rear cover
Ring Lardner's humor, quirky imagination, and ear for the American vernacular endeared him to such formidable critics as Hemingway, Fitzgerald, V. S. Pritchett, and Virginia Woolf. A newspaperman who began as a sports reporter and almost accidentally stumbled into short-story writing, Lardner meticulously captured the way Americans really speak. In You Know Me Al (1916), he created one of the most enduring characters in American fiction, the semi-literate baseball player Jack Keefe.
