The Wit and Humor of America
por Various
Leído por LibriVox Volunteers
This ninth volume of The Wit and Humor of America gathers 37 short stories and poems by 31 authors, offering a varied collection of comic writing from the early twentieth century.
Rather than following a single plot or voice, the anthology moves among different writers and forms. Its short pieces make it easy to dip in and out, while the range of contributors gives the volume the feel of a sampler of American humor.
