First great success of Ring Lardner was ""You Know Me Al,"" a
fictional series of letters from a popular baseball hero to his
friend, slowly revealing the hero as a semiliterate, crude,
conceited, self-deceiving boob. This work was created while Lardner
was writing a sports column for The Chicago Tribune, first appeared
in The Saturday Evening Post. It was later published in the book
form in 1916. You Know Me Al shows Lardner as a satirical master: a
fine and misanthropic storyteller with a excellent feel for the
niceties of characters and speech.
