A Pretty Cool Book From The 50s All Of Schulman’s Books Are Now Out Of Print So Kind Of Neat Collectable. If Your Young Take A Risk And Try Something New.

Born and raised in St. Paul, educated there and at the University of Minnesota, Max Shulman published seven successful novels and two collections of short stories, wrote or co-wrote three Broadway plays and five Hollywood movies, and produced two popular TV series, most famously The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

Reviews:

“Timeless humor, makes me laugh so hard I have to put it down until I can recover.”

“These 3 novels are early Max Shulman, before he got into the Dobie Gillis mode. The humor is sharper and very off the wall.”

“I first was exposed to Max Shulman (so to speak) in the 80s when I was in college, and a good friend gave me a copy of this book as a graduation gift. It is so hard to get across how creative, and how progressive, Shulman's humor was. He was a uniquely American voice, writing things that only Americans can appreciate at a deep level. At the same time, he was very progressive and his humor highlighted social changes that were beginning when this book was compiled. Finally, he was a master of the kind of humor that culminated in the one-liner fast-response type comedy that made the MASH series so popular. All that aside, though, Shulman was hilarious. A glance through the web for references to him shows him to have inspired many talented people, including Bob Newhart. An evening reading a Max Shulman book is to sink deep into a world that is an affectionate, yet unsparing, satire of things and attitudes American. You will laugh out loud, I promise. But, as he would say, I digress. I cannot understand why Shulman's talent is so underappreciated, and I would like to see his stuff”
