About This Book

A series of comic sketches narrated by a wry observer who recounts domestic misadventures and social anxieties: bungled tango lessons, automobile snafus, dieting fads, troublesome pets, romantic entanglements, amateur photography, servant troubles, auction-bridge obsessions, worrying illness scares, and chaotic musical evenings. Each chapter turns everyday vanities and pretensions into satiric set pieces, using colloquial voice, ironic counsel, and escalating mishaps to lampoon fashionable trends and social foibles while delivering brisk anecdotes and jaunty illustrations.
