Book Overview
The Joke About Housing is a satirical novel written by Charles Harris Whitaker and published in 1920. The book is a humorous critique of the housing crisis in America during the early 20th century. It follows the story of a young couple, John and Mary, who are struggling to find affordable housing in the city. They encounter a cast of eccentric characters, including a corrupt landlord, a shady real estate agent, and a group of radical housing activists. Through their experiences, the novel exposes the greed and corruption that perpetuate the housing crisis, while also offering a hopeful vision of a more equitable society. With its witty dialogue and sharp social commentary, The Joke About Housing remains a relevant and entertaining read for anyone interested in the history of housing in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
