Résumé
In "Knocking the Neighbors, " George Ade employs his signature blend of humor and keen social observation to explore the intricacies of early 20th-century American life. This collection of witty sketches, steeped in the American humor tradition, reflects the nuances of neighborly interactions, class distinctions, and the general quirks of urban existence. Ade's conversational prose is peppered with vernacular that brings Midwestern charm to his astute commentary, encapsulating a moment in time when the rapidly changing social landscape was ripe for satire and introspection.
