图书描述

Foreword<br > ONE time, during the recent war, an Air Force sergeant accosted<br > Robert Benchley in a bar and, with little or no preamble, said, "I<br > might as well tell you that I don t like your work." Benchley re-<br > plied that he had moments of doubt himself, and the sergeant then<br > explained that he had hitched a ride from Africa to Italy on a cargo<br > plane, and that the only available sleeping space had been on bags<br > that were full of overseas editions of Benehley s books. By the time<br > they passed Sicily, the man said, he was so stiff and sore that he<br > hoped never to hear the name Benchley again. "Try it yourself<br > sometime," he concluded. "That stuff isn t funny when you have to<br > sleep on it."<br > In somewhat the same way, I would suggest that The Benchley<br > Roundup be read piecemeal rather than in one lump---picked up<br > and put down as though you were waiting for a telephone call, or<br > for guests to arrivebbecause, after all, the pieces had their original<br >appeal as separate entities. In making my selection from about a<br >thousand previously published pieces, I read in fits and starts over<br >a long period of time.<br > Many people have tried to analyze Robert Benchley s particular<br >form of humor, and I would be the last one to add my tiny voice<br >to that of the throng, because I don t think it can be analyzed. It is<br >sometimes mad, sometimes penetrating, and sometimes based on<br >nothing more than word associations, and the only generalization<br >that can be made with any degree of certainty is that it is different--<br >or, ff you will, unique.<br > So let s just leave it that the humorous pieces colleeted here,<br >written between 1915 and 1945, are those which seem to stand up<br >best over the years. There were some that were much admired<br ><br >
