Perelman's Genius Undimmed To The Last
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This collection of Perelman's last pieces (most of which appeared in "The New Yorker") will tickle fans almost as much as his best work in his heyday (and when was his heyday? 30s? 40s? 50s? 60s? Probably all of them). The book also includes several chapters from his planned autobiography, telling amusing tales of the Marx Brothers, Nathanael West (his brother-in-law!), Dorothy Parker, and others. Call this a fond goodbye from one of the great humorists of all time.
