Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Things Mundane: As Observed by the Idler Reporter Mark To those who may perchance be interested, it might be well to explain that this volume represents, in part, the work of a newspaper man "off duty," who found a certain relief in forgetting the more serious or tragic sides of life. The "letters" here offered, as well as several hundred of like nature, appeared some years ago in the Sunday issues of the now defunct Richmond Dispatch and in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. All the articles bear on what the poet Horace calls the "res angusta domi" - the narrowed circumstances at home - and all, when originally printed, appeared over the nom de plume "The Idle Reporter." The author has purposely sought, wherever possible, to use the colloquial speech of middle-class Virginians and he has not hesitated to give even the double negative some recognition.
