Book Reviews of Haircut and Other Stories
Book Review: He'll make you laugh but you may feel crumby about it
Summary: 4 Stars
There is a lot of really funny stuff . Consider the lines , "She looked at me like I was a side dish she hadn't ordered" Or another one in which a traveler is shown the Grand Canyon and says only , " What a hole" . This guy was tremendously funny and had a real feel for the slang and colloquial of his time. Maybe he didn't like people very much but he made it clear in an amusing way. " Still there are people who laugh at the guy who slips on the banana peel, and people who do not.
Lardner is thus much less a favorite of mine other great American comic writers , not simply Twain but someone like Damon Runyan. Runyan loves his characters . Lardner seems to really like no one.
