Cock and Bull: An Anthology of Humor Writing from The New Republic
Cock and Bull is a special end of year edition of The New Republic - an anthology of humorous pieces that have appeared in TNR over the ages.
We have W.H Auden cracking wise. And better yet, he’s making funnies about Freud. This collection is our platonic ideal of winter break reading. There’s Michael Kinsley’s famous dead-pan attack on the New Yorker (and its fastidious fact-checking); the great Henry Fairlie’s rollicking broadside against Vanity Fair, as well as pieces by Woody Allen, Michael Lewis, and James Wolcott.
