THE SWISS FAMILY PERELMAN is the hilarious and unforgettable
account of the master humorist Perelman's trip around the world
with his wife, son, daughter, and a cello. This collection of
stories, originally published in Holiday in the late 1940s, is
jam-packed with Perelman's signature wit and extraordinary prose
style.
The Last Laugh is, as its title suggests, the very last of S. J.
Perelman's twenty books. It contains seventeen pieces never before
collected, in addition to the opening chapters of the author's
uncompleted autobiography, The Hindsight Saga. The Last Laugh shows
the master humorist at his very best, displaying his incomparable
gift for ridicule, dazzling verbal effects, polished style, and
keen observation. (6 X 9, 192 pages)
Culled from the pages of The New Yorker, Holiday, TV Guide, and
Venture, the thirty-two stories that comprise Baby, It's Cold
Inside span all of Perelman's work from the 1960's, and is his only
collection from the latter half of that tumultuous decade. The
master humorist's writing always lands, with inimitable precision,
on an exposed nerve, and these stories are no exception. Perelman's
unique wit and extraordinary writing style make Baby, It's Cold
Inside a worthy addition to any library. (6 X 9, 256 pages)
