About this title

Synopsis

Lardner, American humorist and short-story writer, is known for his mordant wit, exemplified in satirical stories and sketches of American life in the early 20th century told in the language of athletes, stockbrokers, secretaries, chorus girls, etc. This volume contains a series of letters from Jack, who is stationed at Camp Grant, to his Friend Al, with tongue-in-cheek descriptions of life in the service.
