Stewart satirizes the writing styles of Sinclair Lewis, Ring Lardner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thornton Burgess, Edith Wharton, Eugene O'Neill and others in his sort of addendum to Wells' book. Covers the pilgrims, the revolution, Custer's last stand and the Great War among other brief episodes of American History. Very funny. Reminds me of Thorne Smith. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
