Fierce Pajamas: An Anthology of Humor Writing from the New Yorker Paperback - 2002
by David Remnick (Editor); Henry Finder (Editor)
This anthology gathers together the funniest work of more than 70 "New Yorker" contributors. A rich selection of humorous verse includes caustic gems by Dorothy Parker, the effortless whimsy of Phyllis McGinley, and Ogden Nash's unforgettable slapstick prosody.
From the jacket flap
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."
