Ring Lardner was by most accounts a writer who excelled at creating situations about apple pie America and them warping them with his exceptional satirical gifts to an altogether different plane. In The Big Town he and ‘the missus’ go to New York to help her sister Katie find a husband. A simple enough premise but life in the Big Apple with Lardner’s writing is pure genius.
