Gathered for the first time: one of America's great humorists revisits the books and movies from his youth-often with some embarrassment-in this complete, 22-piece collection From October 1948 to October 1953, The New Yorker published humorist S. J. Perelman's "Cloudland Revisited" series: 22 reviews of once-popular books and silent films whose expiration dates had passed. All but forgotten even at the time, they were nonetheless part of Perelman's youth and made an indelible mark on him. In the comic genius's biting satire they live once again:
- Gertrude Atherton's sensationalist fantasy Black Oxen
- Sax Rohmer's supervillain blockbuster The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu
- the "underwater" silent film adaptation of Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea
- Edgar Rice Burrough's 1914 novel Tarzan of the Apes
- and George Barr McCutcheon's 1901 historical fantasy novel Graustark-the Game of Thrones of its era-which launched numerous sequels and film adaptations
