The Letters of Alphonse
“MEMBER OF THE FRENCH JOURNALISM”
By ALEX. KENEALY
Alphonse is an accredited correspondent of a Parisian journal and gives his impression of things American as he sees them, in a series of letters to his “small Journal for to Read.” Their seemingly unconscious humor is so deliciously absurd that it will convulse the reader with laughter in nearly every line. There is no dialect in them, and their humor lies entirely in the peculiar views set forth, as well as the grotesque language in which they are expressed. No book so genuinely funny has been published in a decade, and the fun is in an entirely new vein. Alphonse’s description of a ride in an “upstairs berth” of a sleeping car, should be read by every regular or occasional traveler.
