Summary: Short stories about life
Comment: The twenty stories contained within the 630 pages of this, mostly entertaining, collection were typically about life in, and around, the theater. Some were of a personal nature concerning Noel's philosophy of life: which was something of being an Ockhamist's and he was also anti-altruistic. He seemed influenced in a proginal sense by Saki; a dialectical sense by Wilde; and an antagonistic sense by Waugh. The stories ranged from being very good (Bon Voyage and What Mad Pursuit) to very bad (Traveler's Joy and Stop Me if You've Heard It). The most personal, concerning the purpose of life, was "Nature Study" which was enlightening and Noel gave a very simple definition of his philosophy there. The, perhaps, most personal account of his own life was "A Richer Dust" the meaning of which may only be known by Noel and was not a great story. I give the book as a whole four and a half stars. Some were too schmaltzy, some just ehh?, but half were pretty funny and thorough.
