The Story of Ring Lardner on Broadway by MARK STEYN
'Virginia Woolf once said that "Mr Lardner writes the best prose that has come our way", mainly because once in a while I hit on a sentence like "He gave her a look you could have poured on a waffle."'
Ring Lardner is perhaps best known for his stories about the world of baseball, but for much of his life he worked as a lyricist and sketchwriter for Broadway shows. The lives of tin-pan alley stenographers, chorus girls and songwriters provided a rich source of inspiration for tales of Broadway in the 1920s - the brashest and raciest period of its history.
