Love Nest, The, and Other Stories, nine short stories by
Lardner, published in 1926. The title story was dramatized by Robert Sherwood (1927).
These accurate transcriptions of American speech reveal the self‐deception and hypocrisies of typical Americans and express the author's sardonically humorous view of native character.
The Love Nest, telling of a motion‐picture magnate's introduction of a reporter to his “happy wife and family,” exposes the man's crude, selfish willfulness and the unhappiness of his frustrated, dipsomaniac wife.
Haircut, a barber's monologue while serving a customer, tells of the murder of an intolerable practical joker by a half‐wit youth.
Rhythm is the story of a cynical Tin Pan Alley composer, showing his egotism and meanness.
Who Dealt?, presenting the conversation of a stupid, frivolous woman during a bridge game, reveals the tragedy of her husband's previous love affair.
