Saki was the premier satirist and storyteller of the Edwardian world of Upstairs, Downstairs. His very name, Sakipen name for Hector Hugh Munroevokes that era of brittle elegance. This biography, which is based on the writer's papers, is the first. It is itself a hilarous and quotable narrative of that soontoend world of extravagance. Munro was never to strive for epic writing but was instead a brilliant, almost perfect miniaturist who would hold a reputation roughly akin to that of Oscar Wilde, Ronald Firbank or Nathanael West. He did leave behind a brilliant and hilarious chronicle about his times; he was the most arch of the humorists of his day, a diarist of the underbelly of Edwardian society and of the macabre, which he disguised only thinly in flawless and graceful prose. Here is Saki, the slashing wit, praised and admired by his contemporaries in a brilliant biography as well as critique of his work. During his reasearch, A. J. Langguth uncovered six stories of Saki never before collected. They are included in this volume.
