You Know Me Al - Paperback

by W. Lardner Ring W. Lardner (Author), Ring W. Lardner (Author)

First great success of Ring Lardner was ""You Know Me Al"", a fictional series of letters from a popular baseball hero to his friend, slowly revealing the hero as a semiliterate, crude, conceited, self-deceiving boob. This work was created while Lardner was writing a sports column for The Chicago Tribune, first appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. It was later published in the book form in 1916. You Know Me Al shows Lardner as a satirical master: a fine and misanthropic storyteller with a excellent feel for the niceties of characters and speech.
