Robert C. Benchley's sketches and articles, published in
periodicals like Life, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker, earned him
a reputation as one of the sharpest humorists of his time; his
influence--on contemporaries such as E. B. White, James Thurber,
and S. J. Perelman, or followers like Woody Allen, Steve Martin,
and Richard Pryor--has left an indelible mark on the American comic
tradition. The Benchley Roundup collects those pieces, selected by
Benchley's son Nathaniel, which seem to stand up best over the
years-a compendium of the most endearing and enduring work from one
of America's funniest and most penetrating wits. It took me fifteen
years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't
give it up because by then I was too famous. --Robert Benchley
This collections of essays is enhanced with numerous drawings to
enrich the readers' experience. This is the second of fifteen
collections of Benchley's humorous essays and book reviews. While
some references are dated, Benchley's rapier-sharp wit will amuse
and entertain you. This volume contains 63 gems from his early
work, when his style was approaching its peak. Each of these pieces
are newly illustrated with the funny drawings of Ron Leishman and
other cartoonists.
From Benchley's earliest and most famous writings for Life, and
others along with the winners of the annual Robert Benchley Society
Writers Contest. Forward by Bob Newhart.
