Stephen Leacock - Short Circuits - 1967 #N57 New Canadian Library - VG Cond

Short Circuits - by Stephen Leacock - humorist A superb collection of brief pieces .... at his best. In it this irreverent observer of the human comedy touches on many subjects, including sports, the movie industry, radio education, international relations, and current literature. Leacock illuminates the enduring follies of human nature through his lively wit, sharp satire and spontaneous sense of incongruity, but his moods are often faced with hints of nostalgia and always convey his profound understanding and wisdom. / - See back cover - Pic 2 Rare paperback - hard to find / first published 1928 *Please Note - this copy does not show any other date 216 pages measures approx 4-1/4" x 7-1/4" Introduction by D.J.
