Ring Lardner Ö 1 READ & DOWNLOAD READ & DOWNLOAD ¹ Haircut and Other Stories Through these pages pass con men an opinionated small town barber a nurse who chatters on and on much to the chagrin o shazam i m reading ring lardner again and this time it really crystallizes for me why i like him so much it s this voice that always puts me in that barber chair or pulls up a stool beside me at the bar this simple and persuasive voice of a master raconteur i have a serious penchant for this anecdotal tone this folksy style reminiscent of o henry promoted by fitzgerald admired and emulated by my favourite salinger the subtle yet insistent vernacular sits me down every time and i am fully acclimatized it s simple straight forward finely tuned storytelling and i admire the hell out of itJust ten stories are found in these pages including the often and justly anthologized well known lardner stories like the eponymous haircut i can t breathe a day with conrad green the love nest and the golden honeymoon there is a mix of slice of life and the sporting life before fitzgerald championed his fiction lardner was primarily known a sportswriter who loved baseball and this passion is reflected in the inclusion of alibi ike and horseshoesin revisiting these stories i find i can t breathe still so knowing it is the blue print of the empty headed love struck teen reprint this puppy in a teen magazine today and i know they d relate even if it was first published in 1925 along these lines the notions of a perfect marriage and love are challenged in the love nest in a way that would ring a bell for anyone familiar with those real plastic housewives of greedywood county that said there are a few times where it s clear lardner s stories are relics of their time there are off the cuff racist remarks that reflect the age and then there s this joke in alibi ike about his family living in the post office which always makes me wish for an annotated edition as i don t get the joke any than ike does for those that wonder how i can abide lardner given my usual aversion to satire all i can say is that he writes the bathos and pathos of the lives he describes in a way that charms me and they are married perfectly within his satirical world view i love lardner i only wish i had of his stories on handdoing literary detective diligence on youtube i found a clip here of groucho marx and truman capote on the dick cavett show where they briefly discuss lardner as a writer groucho suggests him as a great comic writer and capote disagrees saying what lardner writes is not humour at all he also says that groucho is wrong when he relays the story that lardner wrote only when drunk capote argues one can t write drunk at all only re write then weird stuff happens including groucho rambling about his accountant and eventually proposing marriage to capote i also found this article about the friendship of fitzgerald and lardner which really needed a proofread but is nonetheless enlighteninghttpwwwnytimescombooks001224 Reluctant Heroes justly anthologized well known lardner stories like the eponymous haircut i can t breathe a day with conrad green the love nest
