| Description: |
This title puts together two of Lardner's works from the World War I era - "My Four Weeks in France and "Treat 'Em Rough: Letters from Jack the Kaiser Killer" - to introduce the wit, wisdom and whimsy of Ring Lardner to a new generation of readers. |
| Synopsis: |
The early 20th century comedic journalist writes about the War to End all Wars. Ring Lardner's wry skills were not confined to writing about baseball. In 1918 he headed to France on assignment for Colliers to cast a Lardneresque eye on the Great War. At the same time he created a new wartime series of letters from the pen of his most famous fictional character, Jack O'Keefe, who traded in his baseball flannels for military drab. This title puts together two of his works from this era - "My Four Weeks in France" and "Treat 'Em Rough: Letters from Jack the Kaiser Killer" - to introduce the wit, wisdom and whimsy of Ring Lardner to a new generation of readers. |
