When asked about himself the writer Sidney Joseph Perelman once quipped 'before they made him they broke the mold. Nowhere is S. J. Perelman's one - of - a - kind madcap sensibility - his gift for wordplay witticism spoofery and sheer nonsense - on better display than in his classic collection Crazy Like a Fox here restored to print for the first time in decades. In a playful loving tribute to the funny man novelist Joshua Cohen - also an erudite wordsmith and punster - introduces Perelman's sui generis comic pieces to a new generation of readers certain to fall in love with the writer whom The New York Times once noted for his ability 'to transform the common cliche or figure of speech into an exploding cigar. Included here are such beloved classics as: the Joycean virtuoso performance Scenario'; A Farewell to Omsk Perelman's hilarious homage to Dostoevsky; and Farewell My Lovely Appetizer his side - splitting send - up of the hardboiled detective fiction of Raymond Chandler. Here is Perelman's own selection of the very best of his inimitable humour restored to print for the first time in decades.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Crazy Like A Fox The Classic Collection\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Cohen Joshua\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The Library Of America\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781598537789\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 300 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Parodies \u0026amp; Spoofs","brand":"Cohen Joshua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49621613576497,"sku":"IN-G-9781598537789","price":14.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781598537789.jpg?v=1724700446","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781598537789-crazy-like-a-fox-the-classic-collection","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
