The Small Bachelor


Read by Zach Hoyt

(4.1 stars; 13 reviews)

Set against a backdrop of Prohibition-era New York, The Small Bachelor is the story of a young man from the West who is trying to be an artist, an older man from the East who wants to be a Westerner, his daughter who does not want to marry an English lord, her stepmother who wants her to, a policeman who wants to become a poet, a writer of pamphlets who says he “can make a poet out of two sticks and a piece of orange peel” if they follow his instructions carefully, and a young woman from the West who has become a fortune-teller. There are also several other characters with other motives, and a number of coincidences which bring them all together in various constellations of absurdity which depict the human condition at its finest.

Very funny book! The recording is set too fast so make sure to tap on the rabbit icon and adjust the speed slower so it's easier to listen to and understand everything that's going on.

Great and Witty
