This is another very welcome volume by America’s foremost satirist ring Lardner. Although he was only with us for 48 years most of his works have become classics. On show here are a number of stories that once again are marked out by the weird situations and ideas he creates. His use of slang and idioms, his dis-respect for grammar, his cynicism all come together hilariously as Jack writes to his old friend Al about his thoughts, stories and adventures from the battlefields of World War 1 France

It just seems stupid to me. This is the sequel to "You Know Me Al," which is a wonderfully funny story of major league baseball in the early twentieth century. By all means, read that, but stay away from this.Product details

The Real Dope edition by Ring Lardner Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Lardner was sort of a guru to Hemingway they say..but a better humorist.
The writer seems to be better with short stories than a longer read. He lost me at times but I had to go back to catch up.
This is one of those books that was recommended for someone with my browsing history. I had never heard of the book nor the author. I have subsequently looked him up and found that this book is a continuation of a device Mr Lardner used in a previous title, that of a major league pitcher writing letters to his minor league buddy. The entire book is epistolary, and from the viewpoint of the protagonist. It starts on the troop transport taking the writer to France to fight in the trenches in WWI. The protagonist thinks quite highly of himself, having achieved success in professional sports, but he is really more of a country bumpkin forever falling prey to the gags of his troop mates. That is the double play of the title. This is a lightweight read and not for those who wish to gain insight into WWI. Because is uses the device of letters, the author uses spellings that are not quite right and some written shortcuts, so texters will get it easily. There is quite a lot of funny stories in these pages, including when they set him up with a "real queen" for his liberty, one Marie Antoinette, whose address is "O. D. Cologne." Lots of laughs and well worth the read if you like enjoy older titles. This book is available free, so you are not taking much of a chance by loading it onto your . I enjoyed it.
I can see where other writers were inspired by this book. Well written and a classic. Sometimes slow but insightful.
One of the most entertaining books I've read. I go back to it all the time. His expressions are priceless and very enjoyable. I tried to memorize parts
vintage Ring Lardner!
Ring Lardner's novel was slow for me to get into at first because of the style of language it employed. But persist, and you will discover an enjoyable, amusing wartime story.
It just seems stupid to me. This is the sequel to "You Know Me Al," which is a wonderfully funny story of major league baseball in the early twentieth century. By all means, read that, but stay away from this.
