192418762ELondon: Constable & Co 1924. This was the personal copy of the great American humorist author and screenwriter S.J. Perelman and was presented to him by his friend Heywood Hale Broun. Inscribed by Broun: “Happy Birthday from H.H. and J. LL. J. Jane Lloyd-Jones Broun’s wife This work by a man who would have liked to have met you. Feb. 1960.†With a document providing provenance laid in. Thin split to the front hinge otherwise a very good copy with some slight use and edge wear without dust jacket. Broun met Perelman when he was a guest on his radio show “Author Author!†and the two became fast friends. Sidney Joseph Perelman popularly known as S. J. Perelman 1904 – 1979 was one of the most widely read literary icons of the Golden Age of American Humor. His New Yorker pieces fiction and collected essays are legendary for their biting wit and mastery of caricature and language. Off and on throughout his career he worked in film notably as a contributing screenwriter on such Hollywood comedy classics as Monkey Business and Horse Feathers with the Marx Brothers Mike Todd’s Around the World in 80 Days for which he won an Oscar co-creator of the hit Broadway musical comedy One Touch of Venus starring Mary Martin as well as many publishing including twenty-one books radio television and travel writing ventures. He was the brother-in-law of the writer Nathanael West with whom he shared a close relationship up until West’s death in a car accident in 1940 at age thirty-seven and whose memory and literary reputation he devoted himself to maintaining. His inner circle of literary and show-business friends and associates included F. Scott Fitzgerald the Marx Brothers Mike Todd Harold Ross T.S. Eliot Al Hirschfeld Bennett Cerf Lillian Hellman Dashiell Hammett Dorothy Parker Fred Allen Kaufman and Hart Ogden Nash Ernest Hemingway W. Somerset Maugham etc. S.J. Perelman was a gifted man with conflicting desires living and working in complex times. While his writing brought much laughter to the world his personal life reflected his restless spirit and inner struggles with his relationships to his family friends and intimates. Dorothy Herrmann ends her wonderful biography of Perelman with these insights: “…his genius was unique…highly literate and inventive yet cranky and irreverent…perhaps no other modern writer was willing to match his commitment to words…Whether this was a rare gift or a feverish obsession is unimportant in the last analysis. For he made us forget for a brief time our own pain and sorrows – and enter a wild wonderful realm of fantasy that was sublime.†Constable & Co unknown
