Frank Sullivan at His Best (Hilarious Stories)
Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
The creator of hilarious pieces for a number of national publications in the 1930s and '40s, humorist Frank Sullivan took dead aim at the American scene. His amusing patter (reminiscent of the dialogue in an early Marx Brothers movie) revealed a style of tongue-in-cheek humor that could be gentle or cutting, sad or sympathetic, but never mean-spirited or condescending. Frank Sullivan At His Best features forty-seven of his best pieces including "A Bachelor Looks at Breakfast", "The Passing of the Old Front Porch", "An Innocent in Texas", and "How to Change a Typewriter Ribbon". Wonderfully good natured these entertaining selections have contemporary appeal with droll comments on a host of subjects from out of the not-so-distant past. Frank Sullivan At His Best will introduce a whole new generation to a genuine wit of the stature of Robert Benchley or Will Rogers.
