Lee’s (Garrison Keillor: A Voice of America) detailed and scholarly work covers the first five years of The New Yorker magazine (1925-30). She argues that The New Yorker’s early style of humor featured the joining of the visual with the written, the use of modernistic techniques, and treating different types of New Yorkers as if they were residents of a small town. Lee examines comic verse, dialect stories, layout, covers, illustrations, style, and the organization of the magazine, as well as the work of the great names behind New Yorker humor – the Whites, Thurber, Arno, Irvin, Barton, Parker, and Hokinson. Throughout, she places The New Yorker’s early years in the tradition of American humor and the sociology of the 1920s and treats the business aspects of the publication. And thankfully, at last, she explains an array of difficult cartoons for those of us who don’t get it. A fine view of the early 1920s; recommended for literature and popular culture collections.
For readers craving a humorous antidote to the sound and the fury of American politics, this clever satire, written in iambic pentameter in the style of Shakespeare, wittily fictionalizes the events of the first two years of the Trump administration.
No one thought that MacTrump Lord of MacTrump Towers, Son of New York?would ascend to the highest position in the kingdom. Yet with the help of his unhappy but dutiful wife Lady MacTrump, his clever daughter Dame Desdivanka, and his coterie of advisers, MacTrump is comfortably ensconced in the White Hold as President of the United Fiefdoms, free to make proclamations to his subjects through his favorite messenger, McTweet.
The Democratic, mourning the loss of their cherished leader Obama, won’t give up without a fight. They still remember the disastrous reign of George the Lesser, and they can see Putain’s dark influence on MacTrump. Their greatest hope is MacMueller, tasked with investigating the plot that empowered MacTrump?s rise to the throne.
As Desdivanka schemes to overthrow her father?s councilors, and as Donnison and Ericson trapped in their own Rosencrantz and Guildenstern-like storyline prove useless to their father, MacTrump soon realizes he has no true allies. Will he be able to hold on to his throne? Only time will tell in this tragicomic tale of ambition, greed, and royal ineptitude.
