Résumé

In "Side-stepping with Shorty, " Sewell Ford masterfully captures the essence of early 20th-century American life through the lens of humor and social commentary. This novel is structured around the vivid escapades of the protagonist, Shorty, whose misadventures provide sharp insights into the culture of the time. Ford's prose reflects a rich tapestry of regional dialects and colloquial expressions, rendering a lively depiction of American vernacular.
The blend of humorous narrative and keen observation situates the work within the broader literary context of early American naturalism and humor writing, echoing the works of contemporaries like Mark Twain and Ring Lardner while carving out its own unique voice. Sewell Ford, an American author born in 1868, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in a small town and the societal shifts of the industrial era.
His experiences in journalism and as a humorist gave him a unique perspective on the idiosyncrasies of everyday life, which he deftly incorporates into his writing. Ford's ability to weave humor and pathos reflects his understanding of human nature and the complexities of American society during a transformative period. "Side-stepping with Shorty" is a delightful exploration of character and culture that invites readers to engage with the comedic aspects of human experiences.
I highly recommend this novel to those who appreciate witty prose, regional storytelling, and poignant social critique, as well as anyone seeking an entertaining yet reflective glimpse into America's past. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - Hand-picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
