Description: Ring Lardner was a legendary sports reporter and short story writer active in the first part of the 20th century. His humorous, often satirical work earned him praise from, among others, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Virginia Woolf. This autobiography is, from the first word of the foreword by Sarah E. Spooldripper to a post mortem message at the end when Lardner describes the accident that resulted in his death by "stomach hake," a light-hearted but sharply witty biographical satire. First edition, later printing. About 5 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches, 151 pages in dark green cloth-covered boards with Lardner's name in gold on front cover and gold lettering on spine. B&w illustrations by Margaret Freeman. Sorry, no dustjacket. Lower corners of boards lightly bumped, lettering on spine slightly worn, o/w no tears, no chipping or scratching. Not ex-library, not remaindered. Text edges slightly soiled, o/w text is complete, clean and unmarked. It is interesting to note that all four of Lardner's sons became journalists and writers with varied careers. One was killed in the Spanish Civil War, another in World War II.
