About this product

Product Information

In this collection of satirical pieces and short humorous fiction, Veronica Geng turns up hilarities large and small in government-speak, gender relations, academia, the mass media, love lives, restaurants, airplanes, and baseball fans. "Often," Ian Frazier writes in his introduction, "her writing was the purest satire, in the sense that its preferred outcome would be for its object to fall down dead." Always attuned to the way things sound, Geng was a wicked parodist, a mimic of voices from Henry James to Chandler's private eyes, from LBJ to Pat Robertson. Love Trouble confirms Veronica Geng's place as one of our greatest humorists, who helped to carry the tradition of S.J. Perelman, James Thurber, and Robert Benchley to its illogical conclusion.

Reviews
"Veronica Geng is the most important comic writer of our time. Like Dorothy Parker, she is, deep down, obsessed with the problem of love -- and partnership -- within the context of our crazy society, which she was fully expert in. Also, Veronica's carefully crafted writings display a mind as big as the Ritz." -- George W. S. Trow "There is something damned funny about all this." -- Roy Blount, Jr. "With her collected work, Veronica Geng has left us an invaluable manual in the fight against hypocrisy." -- Davis Sedaris
