When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, he called it a "comic weekly." And although it has become much more than that, it has remained true in its irreverent heart to the founder's description, publishing the most illustrious literary humorists in the modern era—among them Robert Benchley, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, James Thurber, S. J. Perelman, Mike Nichols, Woody Allen, Calvin Trillin, Garrison Keillor, Ian Frazier, Roy Blount, Jr., Steve Martin, and Christopher Buckley. Fierce Pajamas is a treasury of laughter from the magazine W. H. Auden called the "best comic magazine in existence."

Fierce Pajamas
Humor writing is a tough market. Funny means very different things to each one of us. So, a good way of doing a humor book is like this-build a reader (remember learning from well worn readers in grade school?) of many varied styles and topics.
This collection is wide ranging, going back to Dorthy Parker articles from the 1920's to Steve Martin from a few years ago. The array of writers gives it a cocktail party feel--breezing from one wry smile to another winking eye.
To be sure, this is grown-up, savvy, whip-smart wit. I liked some more than others.
A nice find from my living room old bookshelf. I read this when it came out in 2001--it was right there where I placed it.
