About This Book

A collection of satirical poems, essays, mock lectures and parodies that lampoon collegiate life, literary pretension, and social manners. It gathers dedicatory verse, a mock preface, humorous advice to freshmen, essays on success and sleep, fictional correspondence and public addresses, a playful sermon and a mock antiquarian note, among other pieces. Many items mimic familiar genres and tones to expose affectation and celebrate small pleasures, friendship, and youthful excesses. The writing alternates brisk irony and affectionate reminiscence, using pastiche and comic exaggeration to observe habits of writers, clubs, and institutions while offering pointedly witty reflections on taste, ambition and conviviality.
