The Monday Rhetoric of the Love Club, and Other Parables

Download or read book The Monday Rhetoric of the Love Club, and Other Parables written by Marvin Cohen and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1973 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Marvin Cohen's wacky humor," the late Thomas Merton once said, "has something of 'Thurber, something of Steinberg, Buster Keaton, the surrealists, the French pataphysicians." And this in itself is a fair enough assessment, to say the very least, of The Monday Rhetoric of the Love Club, a collection of twenty-one of the prolific Cohen's parables, prose poems, fables, and dialogues. Two of the pieces, including the title story, originally appeared in the New Directions in Prose and Poetry series; most of the others were selected from the many other magazines and anthologies in England and the United States in which Cohen's shorter works have been published.
