	Encyclopedia Brunoniana \| Perelman, S. J.
		Perelman, S. (Sidney Joseph) Perelman (1904-1979), humorist, was born in Brooklyn on February 1, 1904, but grew up in Providence, where his father raised chickens (for which his son cherished a life-long hatred), and operated a dry-goods store on Smith Hill.
		The young Perelman attended the Candace Street Grammar School and Classical High School, and worked at his father’s store, at Shepard’s Department Store in the candy department, and at the Outlet Company where he folded boxes.
		Perelman is our leading sophisticate, chief rooter for Huxley, and greatest admirer of Ezra Pound.

		With Perelman, it is less true that his work "developed" over the long arc of his career than it is that he kept plugging away—in revision after revision—at what he did best.
		And yet, for all his apparent sophistication, the Perelman persona is likely to be a man plagued by comic trials-and-tribulations, a man at a loss for an antique celluloid collar and still at odds with Mr.

	S. J. Perelman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perelman (February 1, 1904 – October 17, 1979), was a United States humorist, author, and screenwriter.
		He stated that as a young man he was heavily influenced by James Joyce, particularly his wordplay, obscure words and references, metaphors, irony, parody, paradox, symbols, free associations, non-sequiturs, and sense of the ridiculous.
		All these elements infused Perelman's own writings but his own style was precise, clear, and the very opposite of Joycean stream of consciousness.

		Perelman, it turns out, left behind four chapters of an autobiography when he died in 1979.
		Perelman wrote steadily until the day he died at the age of 75, and from the beginning of his career to the end he was capable of being the funniest writer in America - over the quarter-horse distance of 1,500 words.
		In these five sentences we have a fairly good sample of the Perelman devices: the parody of 19th-century circumlocution, the puncturing slang (''face cards,'' which he used often), the subverted cliche (''two shakes of a lamb's tail''), the ironically elegant or perelmannered foreign word (''vedette,'' for star).

		Perelman is probably best known for his literary parodies and commentaries, and these are among the best entries in this volume.

	Knowing S.J. Perelman - The New York Review of Books
		Sidney Joseph Perelman was born in Brooklyn on February 1, 1904, to Russian Jewish immigrants.
		The family soon moved to Providence, Rhode Island, where his father, Joseph, opened a dry-goods store, earning a parlous living that did not improve after a switch to poultry farming ('to this day I cringe at the sight of a gizzard,' Perelman wrote in a letter in 1966).
		He characterized his milieu as 'lower middle bourgeois.' His parents were not religious; Joseph was a socialist.

		Of course he should be in print, and of course read far more than he is today even though I might say I have laughed at his work sometimes without having a clue as to whether I really understand it.
		Perelman loved words and how obsessed he was with turning a pretty phrase on its heels and knocking it off its feet.
		Besides many well-chosen words (who besides Perelman and the late Robertson Davies uses "tohubohu," a word from the Hebrew Bible that sounds exactly like what it means?), this book has several movie reviews that made me amoeboid with laughter.
