Philip Wylie (1902-1971) was a prolific American writer whose works range from satires to pulp sci-fi, political essays to Hollywood screenplays. He delved into matters of philosophy and social criticism across his many genres and mediums with a caustic, once-in-a-generation voice all his own. A member of the founding staff of the New Yorker, his essays and stories regularly appeared throughout the '40s and '50s in Vanity Fair, Redbook, the Saturday Evening Post, and Cosmopolitan.
"In this 1942 volume, Wylie, one of the founders of The New Yorker, attacks everything imaginable, from politics to religion to mothers. He could give H.L Mencken a run for his money as the most opinionated person of the 20th century. Considering the world hasn't improved much in the last 50 years, much of what he says has great relevance today." -- Library Journal
