From the dust jacket: "Don Marquis was a novelist, playwright, satirist, humorist, poet and reporter. Prior to a writing career he held more jobs than seems possible for any one man - drugstore clerk, sewing-machine salesman, truck driver, poultry plucker, printer, short-order cook, railroad track straightener and country schoolteacher. . . He defined happiness as 'the interval between periods of unhappiness' and crowded several lifetimes of laughter-filled living and a wealth of great writing into those intervals."
