Robert C. Benchleys sketches and articles, published in periodicals like Life, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker, earned him a reputation as one of the sharpest humorists of his time; his influence-on contemporaries such as E. B. White, James Thurber, and S. J. Perelman, or followers like Woody Allen, Steve Martin, and Richard Pryor-has left an indelible mark on the American comic tradition. The Benchley Roundup collects those pieces, selected by Benchleys son Nathaniel, which seem to stand up best over the years-a compendium of the most endearing and enduring work from one of Americas funniest and most penetrating wits. It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldnt give it up because by then I was too famous. -Robert BenchleyAbout the Author:Robert C. Benchley (1889-1945), a premier humorist of his time and member of the Algonquin Round Table, wrote for the New York World and New York Tribune Graphic as well as many other periodicals; his work was widely syndicated and anthologized.
