About This Book

A collection of light, humorous sketches and essays offers wry observations on everyday life, emerging technologies, and social manners. The pieces use anecdote and satire to examine topics such as the creative comforts of tobacco, the public spectacle of capital punishment, amateur photography, spiritualism, telephone etiquette, and notions of greatness and ambition. A conversational narrator blends local color with a breezy, journalistic tone to lampoon pretension, expose human foibles, and celebrate small domestic moments. The result is an episodic, topical portrait of social habits delivered with playful irony.
