Lardner, Ring W. The Love Nest and Other Stories
New York Scribners 1926 Hardcover Fine/No Jacket
Octavo, 232pp., Old small bookstore label on rear pastedown. Excellent clean copy of a book that is hard to find in this condition. Ringgold Wilmer Lardner (1885-1933), American writer, was an important literary humorist and the author of sports fiction. His stories are distinguished by a bitterly sardonic view of humanity. He has been called the "greatest and sincerest pessimist America has produced." With the appearance of The Love Nest, and Other Stories in 1926 Lardner reached the height of his fame. In addition to such works as "A Day with Conrad Green,""Zone of Quiet," "Mr. and Mrs. Fix-it," and "The Love Nest" stories that are considered among Lardner's very best,the collection contains what is today regarded as a masterpiece of satiric short fiction, "Haircut." Narrated in the blithe, first-person ramblings of a talkative village barber, "Haircut" tells of the heavy-handed antics of a small-town practical joker, of the respect accorded him by the townsfolk for being such a "card," and of his violent death in a dubious hunting accident. Upon reading the story, Perkins wrote to Lardner, "I read 'Haircut' . . . and I can't shake it out of my mind; in fact the impression it made has deepened with time. There's not a man alive who could have done better, that's certain."
