About Even the Rhinos Were Nymphos: Best Nonfiction

A few years ago, Christopher Buckley wrote of Bruce Jay Friedman in the New York Times Book Review that he and “has been likened to everyone from J. D. Salinger to Woody Allen, and ” but that and “he Bruce Jay Friedman, sui generis, and no mean thing. No further comparisons are necessary. and ” We are happy to report that he remains the same Bruce Jay Friedman in his unique, unblinking, and slightly tilted essays–collected here for the first time–in Even the Rhinos Were Nymphos .A butler school in Houston, a livestock auction in Little Rock, a home for and “frozen guys and ” in California, JFK’s humidor in Manhattan–all are jumping off points for Friedman’s baleful and sharply satirical scrutiny of American life and behavior in the second half of the twentieth century. Travel with Friedman from Harlem to Hollywood, from Port-au-Prince to Etta’s Eat Shop in Chicago. In these pieces, which were published in literary and mass-circulation magazines from the 1960s to the 1990s, you’ll meet such luminaries as Castro and Clinton, Natalie Wood and Clint Eastwood, and even Friedman’s friends Irwin Shaw, Nelson Algren, and Mario Puzo. Friedman is a master of the essay, whether the subject is crime reporting ( and “Lessons of the Street and “), Hollywood shenanigans ( and “My Life among the Stars and “), or his outrageous adventures as the editor of pulp magazines (the classic and “Even the Rhinos Were Nymphos and “). We could sing his praises as a journalist, humorist, and social critic. But, as Buckley tells us, being Bruce Jay Friedman is enough.Bruce Jay Friedman is the author of seven novels (including The Dick , Stern , and A Mother’s Kisses ), four collections of short stories, four full-length plays (including Scuba Duba and Steambath ), and the screenplays for the movies Splash and Stir Crazy .
