Ade’s second round of fables in slang. Uncle Brewster heads to the city warned by his wife that he is “full of the Old Harry”; a grass widow meets a mesmerist; a corporation director mislays his ambition; men crash the women’s club. Each tale ends with a deadpan moral, and some carry the racial attitudes of 1900.
Sharp, funny American satire that still reads like a newspaper column with teeth. Download the free EPUB.
