Book Description: Originally serialized in THE NEW
YORKER, and later adapted for stage, screen, and television, Clarence Day's
Life with Father is a cherished American classic.
Set in 1890s New York, Clarence Day's tales of his father, Clarence "Clare"
Day, Sr., portray a willful, rambunctious, short-fused Wall Street broker
who demands perfection. Intolerant and tyrannical in his determined battle
to harness the world to his way of thinking, Clarence blusters at his wife,
his cook, his horse, shopkeepers, servants, and, of course, his children and
their inability to live up to his preposterous standards. Yet, the more he
rants, the more comical he becomes-and the more he seems to endear himself
to his beleaguered and bemused family. First published in 1935, and
serialized in THE NEW YORKER, Life with Father was adapted for the stage in
1939, brought to the screen in 1947, and went on to become a much-loved
television series in the 1950s.
