About this book

This beautifully illustrated volume brings together the finest works of Ring Lardner, one of America's most distinctive literary voices of the early 20th century. Known for his sharp wit, ear for dialogue, and keen sense of irony, Lardner masterfully captured the quirks of American life through sports, relationships, and social satire. The collection features You Know Me, Al, a groundbreaking series of fictional letters from a naive baseball player that brilliantly parody fame, ambition, and the American dream. Alibi Ike and Some Like Them Cold further showcase Lardner's talent for humor, absurdity, and revealing character through speech and situation. In Gullible's Travels and other short pieces, Lardner turns his eye toward broader social themes, often exposing the pretensions and hypocrisies of middle-class America with a light touch and biting wit. His stories are as entertaining as they are insightful. A must-have for fans of American humor, baseball writing, or classic short fiction, this collection celebrates Lardner's unique legacy as a satirist and storyteller.
