About This Book

A lively miscellany of essays, sketches and critical pieces that range from brisk literary and theatrical criticism to personal commentaries on sports, college life, popular entertainments, and social issues. The author alternates satire and earnestness, skewering sentimentality and fashionable pretensions while mixing humorous anecdotes and polemical observations. The collection is loosely organized, reflecting a newspaper-trained voice that favors impulsive, punchy judgments over systematic argument and displays both vivid insight and occasional haste.
