This richly documented biography captures the artful blending of wit and humor expressed throughout 20th century America. Rich with anecdote, redoubtable oblong gags, and restrained, explicit comedy, this volume explores the eclectic manner in which Wild Bill Donovan, Bette Davis, John Steinbeck, Harold Robbins, Agnes de Mille, Gene Autry and dozens of other luminaries shuttle between drollness and cogency. From the prompts of their audiences, Wild Bill manages as few quick jests as possible;- wine, sex, children, insults - not forgetting the dogs (which of them were unique between 1960-70, as Wilder recounts), his travels abroad, his new creation; The New Jersey Devil; and all the usual eccentric touches of yore that make up this nuanced portrait of a passionate, inventive, sometimes outrageous man. Features full-color A Footnote and Grognard photo gallery, interdisciplinary essays by recognized scholars /humorologists including Larry Swenson, Sidney Weintraub, Dave Eggers, Bob Moran and others, featuring further rare images, graphical pieces, family history and much more. Wild provided us with insight, both personally and profession--wise, through his charmingly political commentaries and terse judgements. One can begin grasping the complexity and wonderment inherent in this man's multilayered presence as they savor these last seven decades of American humor clarified and illuminated by the magistrate of wit.
