From the Publisher
The Lyons Press is proud to reintroduce four books by the honored humorist S. J. Perelman: The Swiss Family Perelman, The Last Laugh, The Rising Gorge, and Baby, It's Cold Inside.
From the Back Cover
The thirty-six undeniably hilarious stories that comprise The Rising Gorge, culled from such magazines as The New Yorker, Holiday, and Redbook, represent the writings of S. J. Perelman during the 1940s and 1950s, regarded by many critics and fans as the author's most productive and noteworthy period. Complete with travelogues, essays, satirical "open letters," and two short one-act plays, The Rising Gorge is a collection as varied as the mind that created it. (6 X 9, 288 pages)
