Books like Archyology by Don Marquis


Archy and his racy pal Mehitabel are timeless, noted E. B. White in his essay on Don Marquis and his famous creations. Allegedly tapping out stories at night by leaping from key to key on Marquis' typewriter, archy couldn't quite manage the shift key for capital letters. Although his tales appeared in lower case, his views achieved a level grand enough to solidify Marquis' reputation as an American humorist in the tradition of Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, and Ring Lardner. Archyology brings together selected 'lost' tales that literally were rescued from oblivion by Jeff Adams, who found them among papers stored in a steamer trunk since Marquis' death. This unique collection offers a glimpse into Marquis' early works, providing readers with a modern take on his enduring legacy.
