Description
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Joshua Cohen (The Netanyahus) reintroduces Americas zaniest humourist to a new generation of readers. When asked about himself the writer Sidney Joseph Perelman once quipped, before they made him, they broke the mold. Nowhere is S. J.

In a playful, loving tribute to the funny man, novelist Joshua Cohen-also an erudite wordsmith and punster-introduces Perelmans sui generis comic pieces to a new generation of readers, certain to fall in love with the writer whom The New York Times once noted for his ability to transform the common cliche or figure of speech into an exploding cigar.
